Particle-free silver ink prints small, high-performance electronics

Friday, January 13, 2012

University of Illinois materials scientists have developed a new reactive silver ink for printing high-performance electronics on ubiquitous, low-cost materials such as flexible plastic, paper or fabric substrates.

Jennifer Lewis, the Hans Thurnauer Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, and graduate student S. Brett Walker described the new ink in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

"We are really excited about the wide applicability and excellent electrical properties of this new silver ink," said Lewis, the director of the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory at the U. of I.

Electronics printed on low-cost, flexible materials hold promise for antennas, batteries, sensors, solar energy, wearable devices and more. Most conductive inks rely on tiny metal particles suspended in the ink. The new ink is a transparent solution of silver acetate and ammonia. The silver remains dissolved in the solution until it is printed, and the liquid evaporates, yielding conductive features.

"It dries and reacts quickly, which allows us to immediately deposit silver as we print," Walker said.

The reactive ink has several advantages over particle-based inks. It is much faster to make: A batch takes minutes to mix, according to Walker, whereas particle-based inks take several hours and multiple steps to prepare. The ink also is stable for several weeks.

The reactive silver ink also can print through 100-nanometer nozzles, an order of magnitude smaller than particle-based inks, an important feature for printed microelectronics. Moreover, the ink's low viscosity makes it suitable for inkjet printing, direct ink writing or airbrush spraying over large, conformal areas.

"For printed electronics applications, you need to be able to store the ink for several months because silver is expensive," Walker said. "Since silver particles don't actually form until the ink exits the nozzle and the ammonia evaporates, our ink remains stable for very long periods. For fine-scale nozzle printing, that's a rarity."

The reactive silver ink boasts yet one more key advantage: a low processing temperature. Metallic inks typically need to be heated to achieve bulk conductivity through a process called annealing. The annealing temperatures for many particle-based inks are too high for many inexpensive plastics or paper. By contrast, the reactive silver ink exhibits an electrical conductivity approaching that of pure silver upon annealing at 90 degrees Celsius.

"We are now focused on patterning large-area transparent conductive surfaces using this reactive ink," said Lewis, who also is affiliated with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, the Micro and Nanotechnology Lab and the department of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the U. of I.

Syrian president gives defiant speech

Al-Assad addresses violence in Syria

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

  • NEW: SNC leader slams al-Assad's address
  • Al-Assad: No government department ordered to fire on people
  • A referendum over a new constitution will take place by March, he says
  • Al-Assad blames both Western and Arab elements for the unrest

Damascus, Syria (CNN) -- In a rare and defiant speech Tuesday, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad blamed the unabated violence in his country on "external conspiracies," criticized the Arab League as toothless and said that the international call for reform wasn't taking into account what the country was really facing: terrorism.

While he did not explicitly point the finger at a particular country, al-Assad blamed the unrest on both Western and Arab elements as world pressure mounted on his embattled government for its 10-month-long crackdown against protesters.

"The mask has fallen off these faces," he said. "No wise person denies these international conspiracies that (are) being done in order to spread fear inside. But this time, it was done with people from inside."

Thousands have been reported killed by security forces throughout the uprising. Death estimates range from more than 5,000 to more than 6,000. The Syrian government has consistently blamed the violence on "terrorists" and al-Assad denied that he commanded forces to open fire on protesters.

"I would like to confirm that there were no orders by any departments of the state to fire on people," he said.

The speech drew scathing reaction from a prominent opposition leader. Burhan Ghalioun, the head of the Syrian National Council, said "the regime has not learned from this 10 months' problem" and called the address "worthless."

The U.N. Security Council is expected to meet for the first time this year to discuss the brutal and sustained government crackdown on anti-regime protesters.

The Security Council itself has been under pressure to act on the violence. While the U.N. has not acted on sanctions against Syria, international sanctions have been imposed or threatened on the regime and several entities want the International Criminal Court to investigate Syria.

As al-Assad delivered his lengthy address, more violence erupted across the country where 23 people were killed, according to the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, an opposition activist group.

Al-Assad said Syria has responded to the ongoing crisis with changes.

"(The) first law we passed is lifting emergency law. In a situation (like) Syria is facing, most countries would impose an emergency law. But we lifted it."

In addition a referendum over a new constitution will be held "within two months -- in March," he said.

The relationship between reform and the crisis, he said, was being "over-emphasized."

"What is the relationship between reform and the international plots? If we reform, would that stop their plans?" he asked. "If we reform, will that stop terrorism? Will a terrorist care if we change election law?"

The speech was noteworthy in not just what al-Assad said, but also in what he chose to leave out. He did not say he would pull tanks off the streets -- a concession that opposition activists had called for.

Al-Assad said his government had tried to talk with the opposition but "certain forces of the opposition ... want to enter into dialogue in secrecy."

Arab League officials are scrambling to end the bloodshed and have pledged to add to their 165 observers already in the country. The Arab League fact-finding mission in Syria is part of a larger initiative to end security forces' attacks on peaceful protesters.

But the group's mission has been met with skepticism from both pro-Assad supporters, who view the monitors as stooges for regime change, and anti-government activists, who see the observers as weak and ineffective.

Al-Assad reserved much of his criticism for Arab nations for not standing with Syria and for coming down on it for human rights abuses.

"Their situation is like that of a doctor who tells people not to smoke while he has a cigarette in his mouth," he said.

"We have been working for years to create an office to boycott Israel," he said, referring to the Arab League initiative toward Syria. "But in weeks they did it against Syria. Are they swapping Israel for Syria?"

Al-Assad said Syria cannot be removed from the Arab League because a body cannot "live without its heart."

The body had failed in "six decades of Arab policies," he said. "So why would it be of any use now?"

"Did the Arab League respect its own nations whose territory has been invaded or occupied? Have they prevented separation of Sudan, or stopped Sudan famine, or stopped the death of 1 million Iraqis, or re-planted any of the olive trees uprooted by Israel?"

Ghalioun emphasized that al-Assad has "refused the Arab working plan. What he believes is going on is a conspiracy as well as terror."

"For the first time, he accused the Arabs in this conspiracy," he said.

Al-Assad also accused some journalists of editing or fabricating his quotes.

"We have more than 60 televisions stations working against Syria," he said.

A CNN crew has been allowed into Syria after a long period of the Syrian regime refusing the entry of international journalists. The crew's equipment for live broadcasting was confiscated on arrival. And a government minder is assigned to the team, though he has not accompanied the team at every turn.

Since Arab Spring demonstrations swept the region early last year, protesters in Syria have demanded a country free of the al-Assad regime and true democratic elections. Al-Assad has been in power since 2000; his father, Hafez, ruled Syria for three decades.

Euro 1988, Kejayaan 'Total Football' Negeri Kincir Angin

KOMPAS.com ? Setelah masa penantian panjang, tim nasional Belanda akhirnya berhasil meraih trofi Piala Eropa untuk pertama kalinya. Karakteristik total football khas Belanda mampu ditunjukkan oleh Ruud Gullit dan kawan-kawan layak mengantarkan mereka menjadi gelar juara Eropa pada tahun 1988.

Di partai final, tim Oranye kembali bertemu dengan tim Uni Soviet yang sempat mengalahkan mereka di pertandingan pertama penyisihan grup. Namun, tim Belanda kali ini menunjukkan perbedaan dari sebelumnya.

Di babak pertama saja, mereka sudah unggul 1-0 melalui tandukan kepala Gullit. Keunggulan diperbesar melalui gol Marco van Basten di awal babak kedua dan kedudukan 2-0 bertahan hingga peluit tanda akhir babak kedua dibunyikan oleh wasit.

Gol dua pemain legendaris Belanda ini dikenang oleh hampir 60 persen penduduk Belanda yang hijrah sesaat untuk menyaksikan pertandingan di Olympiastadion, Munich, Jerman Barat ini. Gullit dengan rambut gimbalnya menandukkan bola, sementara Van Basten melakukan tendangan akrobatik yang tidak bisa diantisipasi oleh kiper Soviet, Rinat Dasaev.

Juara bertahan, Perancis, tak lolos babak kualifikasi untuk masuk ke putaran final ajang Piala Eropa kali ini. Sementara itu, raksasa Jerman Barat harus puas hanya mampu melangkah sampai babak semi final karena dikalahkan total football negeri kincir angin dengan skor 1-2.

OnLive Goes Beyond Gaming: Announces Cloud-Based Windows 7 ...

OnLive Goes Beyond Gaming: Announces Cloud-Based Windows 7 Desktop for the iPad

Here is some unexpected news from CES: OnLive, the company best known for streaming video games over the Internet, just announced that it will release a new iPad app later this week that will give users access to a virtual Windows 7 desktop with access to Word, PowerPoint and Excel, as well a browser (which we assume will be Internet Explorer). The free app will offer 2GB of storage. OnLive also plans to launch a pro version for $9.99 per month with 50GB of cloud storage. According to PC Magazine, the company also plans to launch an enterprise version in the future that will allow customers to run their own applications.

Given that OnLive generally pushes for more graphically demanding content through its network, running Windows 7 should prove to be rather easy for the company's engineers. The app will officially launch on Thursday, though sign-ups will launch later today.

OnLive already has some experience with the iPad, thanks to its OnLive Viewer app, which allows you to watch games others are playing on the service. OnLive full gaming app, though, is currently only available on Android, but the iPad version should launch soon as well.

How Useful is a Windows 7 Desktop on an iPad?

It'll be interesting to see how much demand there is for a service like this beyond the first surge of people who will inevitably just want to try the app for the sake of it. Given that the latest versions of Microsoft Office allow users to save their content to Microsoft's own LiveDrive service, moving data in and out of the virtual Windows 7 instance should be easy. It's not clear how much else you can do with the app beyond editing office documents, though, and given that you can already edit office documents with the help of iPad apps like CloudOn, it remains to be seen how useful this service will be for mainstream users, especially given that Windows 7 isn't exactly optimized for tablet use.

Most Parents Tell Kids About Test Results for Breast Cancer Genes (HealthDay)

MONDAY, Jan. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Most parents who have genetic tests for breast cancer risk share the findings with their children, a new study finds.

Researchers interviewed 253 parents who underwent genetic testing for mutations in two common breast cancer-related genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2) that can be inherited. All the participants had children younger than age 25 at the time of the genetic test.

Twenty-nine percent of the parents were found to have a BRCA gene mutation associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, said Dr. Angela Bradbury, of the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, and colleagues.

Most of the parents in the study shared their test results (positive or negative) with at least one of their children. Of the 505 children, 334 (66 percent) were informed about the findings of their parents' tests.

Parents were more likely to share their test results with older children, but results were shared with about half of children ages 10 to 13, and some children who were even younger.

The researchers also found that parents were more likely to tell their children about negative test results -- meaning no breast cancer-related mutation was found -- particularly if the child was a girl.

Most children were not distressed when told about their parents' test results, but they were more likely to be upset when a mutation was detected and when they were younger than age 10, according to the report published online Jan. 9 in the journal Cancer.

"We know that adolescence is a time when children establish many important health behaviors they continue in adulthood. An understanding about children's reactions to these communications may assist parents in their decisions about whether, or when, to share their genetic test results," Bradbury said in a journal news release.

"This could also help parents begin conversations with their children that can encourage them to adopt healthy behaviors but not cause them distress," she added.

More information

The American Association for Clinical Chemistry has more about BRCA1 and BRCA2 tests.
