Modern miracle stuff graphene has been used by developers to print
circuits on clothing, creating a genuinely wearable form of tech that
doesn’t rely on bulky watches, AR glasses or sewing computers into your flesh.
Given that
graphene’s USP is that it manages to work despite only being one atom
thick, it creates a form that’s ultimately flexible. To show off the
possibilities, Cambridge University has managed to print a piano circuit
board onto fabric using a conductive graphene ink while also printing a
digital display onto a bendy bit of plastic.
The creator
suggests printable circuits might be handy for embedding health
monitors in clothing, although we’re imagining a future where graphene
phone displays can be printed on our hands, stomachs and thighs. Having a
television printed on your thighs would certainly solve the
watching-TV-in-bed problem. [Telegraph]
