A new technology allows metal circuits floating on water to be transferred directly onto any desired surface. A South Korean research team has introduced a novel technique capable of transferring ultra-fine nanocircuits onto plant leaves and fruits, as well as curved automotive surfaces and robot exteriors, all without causing any damage. This technology could be widely used across industries, including smart agriculture, wearable health care and bioelectronics.
A joint research team led by Distinguished Professor Inkyu Park from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Jun-Ho Jeong from the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, and Professor Junseong Ahn from Korea University has successfully developed water-floating nano-transfer printing (WF-nTP). This technology enables precision metal thin films floating on water to be transferred to 3D surfaces. The study is published in Nature Communications.
