The article alludes to the availability of inkjet printing ink that does the same thing...
Holy crap!
O_O...would that work on writing over PCBs?! Man...the possibilities!! Thanks for sharing this man.

If it worked on pad-per-hole or perf-board that would be pretty great!

exactly what i was thinking
Totally--it would be perfect for PPH or Perf since you already have the holes and won't need a ton of "ink" to make the connections.
I wonder how close this thing is to going on the market?

There's these (http://www.amazon.com/CircuitWriterTM-Precision-Pen-silver-based-grams/dp/B0002BBVQO) for quick PCB repairs. But they lack the 'draw on paper' functionality of the pen above.
There are endless possibilities :o
I need one now.
i have something like that. It works for repairs but you can't solder to it unless you bake it first.
:o :o Its only getting easier :)
