Make an Origami Circuit Board
Researchers at City University of Hong Kong are developing a method to create circuit boards using origami and kirigami techniques. By impregnating paper-like materials with liquid metal, they aim to simplify the creation of flexible, interactive papercraft electronics.
Why it matters
This innovation could lower the barrier for entry into electronics prototyping and sustainable, flexible hardware design.
What could you do if you could make a circuit trace by just bending a piece of paper? How about bridging modern technologies and traditional handicrafts while providing opportunities for learning skills in both.
