We've never been the type to appreciate luxury
pens, but if said pen was packing a
silver-based ink solution that left behind a trail of conductivity... well, our pocket-protector would be
very much at its disposal. Announced today, this evolution in penmanship tech has two great University of Illinois minds to thank -- Professors Jennifer Lewis and Jennifer Bernhard. That's right, the two Jennifers schemed up a desktop solution that could see
flexible displays and disposable devices coming soon to your pocket (or garbage pail). By eschewing pricey
inkjet printers for a low-cost hand-crafted approach, the creators hope future multimedia artists and the engineering-inclined will try their hand at innovative uses. We always knew the pen was mightier than the sword, but now it's just plain Mighty.
