Prototype of the ‘world’s first fluid circuit board’ can be physically rewired in less than a minute, startup claims — could make hardware iteration 1,000 times faster than traditional PCB
A startup named Itera has introduced a prototype of what it claims to be the world's first fluid circuit board. This innovative technology allows for rapid rewiring of circuits in under a minute, potentially speeding up hardware iteration cycles by 1,000 times compared to traditional methods. The company has secured $12 million in seed funding to further develop its product.
- ▪Itera's fluid circuit board uses electrowetting to control liquid metal alloys on a glass substrate.
- ▪Engineers can rewire circuits in less than a minute, making hardware iteration significantly faster.
- ▪The startup has received $12 million in seed funding to launch its first product.
