The Fraunhofer IZM and WINT Design Lab have developed a lamp that utilizes printable Liquid Metal Ink, enabling innovative textile-integrated light switches.
A demonstration of the lamp will be available at the Berlin Science Week on November 1st and 2nd, where visitors can learn more and experience it firsthand.
The research team, consisting of Lukas Werft, Christian Dils, Robin Hoske, and Felix Rasehorn, aims to create textiles that can respond to touch and interact intelligently with their environment.
The project’s magic lies in the newly developed and fully printable Liquid Metal Ink (LMI) made with Galinstan.
The team will showcase their "Soft Interfaces" project at the Berlin Science Week, revealing the possibilities of this groundbreaking technology.
