3D Silver Circuit Printing for Consumers and More Silver News
Explore the latest exciting developments in the silver industry with the February edition of Silver News. Its front-page story covers how silver nanowires are being explored as an alternative to widely-used indium tin-oxide. Once testing is complete, silver could become even more essential to the manufacturing of touch-screens, plasma televisions, and other common electronics.
Perhaps even more exciting is the new commercial release of a 3D printer that can simultaneously print conductive silver inks inside plastic designs. Everyday consumers can now print customized electronic devices. This advancing technology could add significant demand to the electronic silver market beyond large manufacturers. You can watch a video about this new printer from Voxel8 below.
Other developments in silver highlighted in this issue include:
- The US Mint sold a record number of Silver American Eagle coins in 2014.
- The British Royal Mint has acknowledged the growing demand for bullion by offering newly-minted gold and silver bars for the first time in 47 years.
- Researchers showed that clothing embedded with silver wires could keep people at a stable temperature in both warm and cold weather.
