The conductive spray paint is called Electrick. As reported by the MIT Technology Review, it was developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University who sought to let regular objects act as ...

Touchscreen smartphones and tablets are so intuitive that even babies can easily learn how to use them. So why can’t any object work like a touchscreen? Everything from guitars to Jell-O might soon be ...

It’s a touchpad in a spray can. Spray the conductive paint on almost any surface and, with the aid of just a few simple electronics, you can make everything from walls to steering wheels interactive. ...

Touch sensing is most common on small, flat surfaces such as smartphone or tablet screens. Researchers however, can turn surfaces of a wide variety of shapes and sizes into touchpads using tools as ...

A robotic spray process has been developed to apply conductive coatings to battery current collectors, fuel cells, and other energy storage devices that require low-resistance coatings. Conductive ...

Linear thinking yields linear results, but that does not necessarily ensure success. True innovation demands nonlinear thinking, which, more often than not, emerges from goal-oriented play and ...
