Revolutionary Metallic Gel Enables Flexible and Conductive 4D Printing
TL;DR Summary
Researchers have developed a metallic ink that can be used in 4D printing to create 3D metal objects. By heating a flat precursor printed with the conductive ink, the structure can transform into complex shapes, such as a spider. This innovation has potential applications in electronic devices.
