Advance in Adaptable Circuitry by HP

  • HP researchers have developed a novel way to create flexible electronic circuits that could make it routine by the end of the decade to modify and upgrade the circuitry in computer-based consumer products even after they have been sold.
  • A cellphone using the technology could be wirelessly upgraded to take advantage of improved wireless network standards.
  • Another potential use would be in making ultracheap memory chips, and one early application could be in the ink-jet cartridges which Hewlett-Packard manufactures by the tens of millions.
