Yissum Research Development, the Technology Transfer Company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Vaxan Steel have signed a licensing and research agreement to develop silver nanoparticles and silver-coated copper nanoparticles for conductive inks. The contract stipulates that Yissum provides Vaxan with an exclusive sales license for Asia – excluding Israel and former Soviet states – in return for research fees and royalties from future sales.

The inks, created by scientists at the Institute of Chemistry at the Hebrew University, can be used in unison with a variety of printing technologies, including inkjet printing of electronic circuits on silicon wafers in the thin-film photovoltaic industry.
