Self-assembling electronics created from liquid metallic particles may present a less expensive means of producing pc chips, just by harnessing the fundamental physics of how fluids movement by tiny buildings.
“The cost of entry in manufacturing electronics and building new chip fabrication plants in the US right now, we’re talking billions of dollars,” says Martin Thuo at North Carolina State College. “It’s not cheap.”
Thuo and his colleagues first created a mix of…
