The Cognixia podcast discusses the environmental challenge of e-waste and introduces a new flexible material developed by researchers at MIT, the University of Utah, and Meta. This material could revolutionize electronics by allowing for complex, multi-layered circuits while being recyclable. Unlike the commonly used polyimide, which is energy-intensive to produce and difficult to recycle, the new material is a form of polyimide that hardens quickly at room temperature and can be dissolved for recycling. This innovation could help mitigate e-waste and advance electronics, making technology more sustainable and accessible.
