Printed electronics: thin – flexible – lightweight. These attributes allow successful use of the technology in the fields of mobility and life science. Under the technical direction of Wolfgang Mildner, managing director of MSWtech, the printed electronics symposium in Nuremberg (4 and 5 July) will present technological possibilities, advantages and development potentials for the printing of electronic functions on the basis of conventional and organic materials.
Nano Dimension Ltd. (Ness Ziona, Israel), a leading additive electronics provider, announced its breakthrough multi-material 3D printing inks have been awarded the IDTechEx Award for Technical Development Materials. The award was presented by Raghu Das, CEO of IDTechEx, at the annual “IDTechEx Show!” Europe awards ceremony. The prestigious honour marks the third award for Nano Dimension since launching the DragonFly 2020 Pro 3D printer in September 2017.
Cell-based biosensors can simulate the effect of various substances, such as drugs, on the human body in the laboratory. Depending on the measuring principle, though, producing them can be expensive. As a result, they are often not used. Cost factors for sensors that perform measurements electrically are the expensive electrode material and complex production. Fraunhofer scientists are now producing biosensors with graphene electrodes cheaply and simply in roll-to-roll printing. A system prototype for mass production already exists.
