(Phys.org) —One of humankind's biggest technological steps was the ability to print words on paper. Now, thanks to College of Engineering assistant professor Anming Hu, it's technology itself that is being printed.
Hu, of the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering, has researched a way to print circuits on paper, the main impact of which could be a decrease in cost and an increase in portability for any number of devices.
"Being able to design the circuit you want and then print it out allows for more responsive designs, easier control, and lower costs," said Hu. "The ability to print out the exact circuit you need the moment you need it can revolutionize a number of things."
One of the biggest advancements made possible by the technology could be in the world of medicine.
Currently, endless numbers of people suffer from a disease or affliction that requires them to frequently check in with a doctor or conduct medical testing. Diabetics, for example, rely on daily finger pricks to test their blood sugar levels.
With a paper circuit enclosed in a liquid-proof barrier, those same patients could one day have a sensor implanted in them that could not only detect when their levels were out of kilter, but also signal itself to release insulin into their body.
"Being able to have an enclosed waterproof system with its own power source would open up a lot of areas medically," said Hu. "Right now, the focus is on being able to make the lines that form the circuit smaller."· 以上资料由
