Scientists Print All-Liquid 3D Structures - A Step Toward 'Liquid Electronics'
Berkeley Lab scientists have developed a way to print 3D structures composed entirely of liquids. Using a modified 3D printer, they injected threads of water into silicone oil to form tubes made of one liquid within another liquid. They envision the all-liquid, reconfigurable material could be used to construct liquid electronics to power stretchable devices that conform to their surroundings.
