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.
Researchers have developed a highly conductive metallic gel that can be used for 3D printing solid objects at room temperature. The gel, made from a solution of copper particles and a liquid metal alloy, forms a network that allows for electrical pathways and prevents clogging of the printer. The printed objects can change shape as they dry, a process known as 4D printing. The material is highly conductive, making it suitable for a wide range of electronic components and devices.
