Development of a portable multimaterial printer with a compact electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) control circuit

Caption

Researchers develop a portable printer that leverages EWOD technology to independently control and print both conductive and insulating liquids. This portable device allows rapid fabrication with real-world applications in agriculture, smart packaging to detect impacts or humidity changes and medical field for monitoring of health in real time.
