Sunnyvale based start-up Kovio has developed technology that helps print chips using commercial grade inkjet printers. The technology to print electronics in this way by itself is not new, but Kovio's USP is that the technology is based on inorganic materials unlike organic polymers.
The real implication of this tech is that it makes possible manufacturing RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) standard devices on a mass scale at down to earth costs. The age of electronic tracking with its innumerable ramifications is not very far. Seamless payment systems, biological measurements there is an explosion waiting to happen as far as RFID is concerned.
