We’ve never been the kind to comprehend luxury pens , but when said pen was packing a silver-based ink solution that left behind a trail of conductivity… well, our pocket-protector could be a great deal 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, both Jennifers schemed up a desktop solution that may see flexible displays and disposable devices coming soon for your pocket (or garbage pail). By eschewing pricey inkjet printers for an extremely 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.
