Pen-Based Writing: Recent Advances in Pen-Based Writing Electronics and their Emerging Applications (Adv. Funct. Mater. 2/2016)

Due to the emerging demand for methods of fabricating electronics in a cost-effective, easily accessible way that allows for rapid prototyping way, novel techniques to design and manufacture electronics are required. On page 165, F. Li, F. Xu, and co-workers review the recent innovations allowing ubiquitously available pens to be employed to directly write electronics, as inspired by the daily act of hand writing.
