LLNL scientists and collaborators 3D-printed a new and compact device configuration that allows precise control over the geometric features and interactions between the electrodes.

When silicone resins are 3D printed via direct ink writing on top of sensitive electronic components, such as a circuit board, they offer unique mechanical and electrical protections. The printed structure can also act as a cushion, which is illustrated by striking the circuit board with a hammer.
