Jusr saw this article on my FB feed and thought it would be and interesting repost as i was actually looking into making my own circuit board for a future project that i am planning. this will make thing a hell of a lot easier!

Good-bye, breadboard. Scientists at the University of Illinois have come up with a conductive, water-based ink that lets you draw working circuits on an ordinary piece of paper. They’ve packaged the product into a rollerball pen, called Circuit Scribe, and if you want to be one of the first to get hold of one, the team is crowdfunding the project on Kickstarter right now.

I wish they had that when I did science in highschool, maybe I would have done better at it :P

Brain: Pinky are you thinking what I am thinking?
Pinky: Yes Brain, but what are we going to do with toilet paper with reading lights built in.

Brain: No we will take over the world with paper robot minions made with Circuit Scribe.

That's awesome! It would definitely have made science class more fun and interesting at school hey. We just had to draw circuits but it would have rocked it they actually worked like that
