Xerox develops breakthrough in printable circuits
- futuremint 17y agoThe article is all gushy and starry eyed about the "printed circuits" and how durable they might be. The metal ink used to print them melts at 140˚F. Your car in the summer can reach 200˚F. So they're all great and durable until you leave them in your car. Or too close to your oven. Or on top of the coffee maker.

- bullseye 17y agoThe article quoted Celsius scale temperatures. 140˚C is 284˚F. At that temperature, the fact that the ink is melting would be the least of my concern if this is intended for wearable electronics.
