It’s good to know innovation like this is out there as more people continue to look for ways to find alternative energy to generate power (especially as the FG continues to take its time in fulfilling its promise of unlimited power supply for Nigerians).

CNN recently reported that a group of students from the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London has made that possible by creating electrically conductive paint.
According to reports, the paint acts as a form of liquid wiring. Unlike conventional wires, it can be applied to almost any surface, including paper, plastic, metal and even fabric. The product has the appearance and consistency of runny marmite, but dries quickly when exposed to the air. Its inventors, RCA graduates Isabel Lizardi, Matt Johnson, Bibi Nelson and Becky Pilditch, call their creation “Bare Paint.” While they don’t claim to be the first group to have invented a conductive ink, they are pioneering new ways it can be used.
