New Graphene based ink for high-speed manufacturing of printed electronics

Developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge in collaboration with Cambridge-based technology company Novalia, the method allows Graphene and other electrically conducting materials to be added to conventional water-based inks and be utilized in consumer grade inkjet printers such as Epson Stylus 1500, to print flexible paper thin circuits. This ink is created by...

Solution that makes fingerprints glow brightly under UV light 

CSIRO Material scientist, Dr Kang Liang, developed a technique in which tiny extremely porous metal organic framework (MOF) crystals, combine with fingerprint residue on a molecular level causing it to glow brightly under a back light. In conventional method, sometimes the samples have to be sent for heat and vacuum treatment delaying the investigations...
