Electronics for Breakfast: 3D printing conducting vegemite

When Professor Marc in het Panhuis was working on developing soft and edible materials for applications in soft robotics and bio-medicine, he only needed to look at his breakfast table for inspiration. The iconic Australian Vegemite is ideal for 3D printing edible electronics. It contains water so it’s not a solid and can easily be extruded using a 3D printer. Also, it’s salty, so it conducts electricity. In electronics, a breadboard is used to create and test circuits, so in this case, why not a real br
