A Silver Lining for Extreme Electronics

A photograph shows the silver lines of circuit leads, which have been patterned to look like a Spartan helmet. Circuit design by MSU veterinarian Jane M. Manfredi.

Michigan State researchers are building tougher circuits to help withstand the grueling demands of energy production, space exploration and more. Tomorrow’s cutting-edge technology will need electronics that can tolerate extreme conditions. That’s why a group of researchers led by Michigan State University’s Jason Nicholas is building stronger circuits today.

Nicholas and his team have developed more heat resilient silver circuitry with an assist from nickel...
