AndTech to Host Online Seminar on 'Liquid Metal Fundamentals and Applications in Flexible/Stretchable Devices' on June 29

AndTech (Headquarters: Kawasaki, Kanagawa; President: Masao Suyama) is launching a technical seminar on "Liquid Metals" as part of its Zoom-based R&D support courses, aiming to address the growing demand for solutions using liquid metal technologies.

The seminar covers fundamentals to next-generation device applications, including the physical, electrical, and thermal conductivity properties of these rare materials that remain liquid at room temperature. Participants will learn paths to cutting-edge applications such as stretchable wiring, wearable devices, and Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) through practical examples.

The seminar is scheduled for June 29, 2026.
