Recently, a group of researchers at Delft University of Technology has pioneered a method that allows silicon itself, in the polycrystalline form used in circuitry, to be produced directly on a substrate from liquid silicon ink with a single laser pulse -- potentially ousting its pale usurpers. They discuss their research this week in Applied Physics Letters.
