Conductive ink

Bare is a skin-safe conductive ink that you can paint on your body to create "custom electronic circuitry".

This innovative material allows users to interact with electronics through gesture, movement, and touch. Bare can be applied with a brush, stamp or spray and is non-toxic and temporary. Application areas include dance, music, computer interfaces, communication and medical devices. Bare is an intuitive and non-invasive technology which will allow users to bridge the gap between electronics and the body.

Conducting plastic

When two plastics (polymers TTF and TCNQ) are placed atop one another, a thin strip forms that conducts electricity "as well as a metal".

The TTF-TCNQ interface conducts electricity much better than standard semiconductors. "The electron concentration there is an order of magnitude higher," Mannhart says. "That has the power to create new effects, from magnetism to superconductivity."
