Printed Inorganic Phase Change Memory in the Works
Phase Change Memory (PCM), is a promising new memory technology providing very fast read and write speeds at lower power than conventional flash, and allows for bit alterability normally seen in RAM. The technology incorporates the best of existing memory technologies and combines each into one memory device.

Replacing Printed Silver with Copper
Ironically, silver has replaced more abundant copper in many applications because the copper, while having excellent electrical conductivity, had to be slowly electrodeposited and wastefully etched afterward.

New Strategy for Printed Electronics
To maximize sales, the most ambitious putative suppliers to the emerging printed electronics sector must not box themselves into a corner. The majority of the materials expenditure for printed electronics concerns inorganic materials and a rapidly growing number of printed electronic devices employ composites. Those seeking to be the biggest in the business cannot stick to purely organic chemistry.

Printed Electronics: Then and Now
Printed and potentially printed electronics was first seen as a way of sharply reducing the cost of everything from lighting to personal electronics. That remains an objective. However, it is also proving to be a way of providing electronic and electrical devices that were previously impossible to manufacture.
