The device would be a key component of a portable mass spectrometer that could help monitor pollutants, perform medical diagnoses in remote areas, or test Martian soil.
Cheap and quick to produce, these digitally manufactured plasma sensors could help scientists predict the weather or study climate change.
Low-cost “piezoelectric” films produce voltage when under strain, could be used for flexible electronic components and more.
