  Washington DC (SPX) Nov 03, 2017 For the first time, researchers have used a single-step, laser-based method to produce small, precise hybrid microstructures of silver and flexible silicone. This innovative laser processing technology could one day enable smart factories that use one production line to mass-produce customized devices combining soft materials such as engineered tissue with hard materials that add functions such as glucose sensing. The metal component of the microstructures renders them electrically conductive whil ... read more |
