Self-assembling electronics constituted of liquid metallic particles might present a less expensive manner of producing laptop chips, just by harnessing the essential physics of how fluids move by means of 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…
