Cost of production has been a major barrier despite the fact that Cu raw material prices are far lower than Ag. This is because this large raw material cost difference does not often get translated into equally large nanoparticle dispersion or ink costs. Can this be overcome?
This article describes the TAeTTOOz printable battery technology developed by Evonik and acquired by InnovationLab for upscaling and mass production.

The progress of screen printing towards fine line printing has been incredible going from 100 µm features before 2010 to 70 µm to 2015 to 40 µm in 2018 and now pushing - in development- towards 20 µm and less. In parallel, the wet thickness of the printed line have gone down from 12um or so in 2018 to now just 4um.
As microLEDs inevitably shrink in size, the micro-bumping requirements for the microLED dies becomes more challenging. Direct wafer-based printing based on gravure offset techniques offers a promising solution in this regard. Indeed, this is another field where printed electronics can play a role.
Caracol has introduced thermal monitoring and Infrared (IR) cameras on our #LFAM technology, to deliver zero-defect production and the best properties on final printed parts.
Veco has been moving the industry forward, with unparalleled experience of Electroforming, advanced lithography technology, and accumulated knowledge of metallurgy. So what is Advanced Lithographic Electroforming, and what does it mean for the manufacturing industries?
Painting is a great way to take your PLA 3D prints to the next level. Here’s what it takes to prepare your prints for painting and a guide to different painting techniques for 3D printed parts.

Metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding have their advantages and disadvantages, but how do you pick the process that's right for your next manufacturing or repair project?
The last time prices for groceries and gas rose this quickly was 1981. Four decades later, inflation in the US hit 9.1% in June, causing national banks to turn the dial on interest rates in an effort to cool the economy – without freezing it into recession.

It is incredible to see the progress that organic semiconductors (OSC) have made over the past 15-20 years. Ian Jenks explains in this short 5-min presentation how they are removing the long-existing barriers to adoption of OTFT technology.
Gallium-Indium-Tin is an interesting material for stretchable electronics. It can be formed into a non-toxic RoHS-compliant gel and applied to almost any substrate to form stretchable conductive metallizations and circuits.
