Production of a VR Glove Using a 3D Printer

Research sometimes needs a sacrifice. Empa researcher Patrick Danner has just made one – and filmed it. "When I applied a good 2000 volts to the sample, it caught fire," he reports drily in the debriefing. The mishap is clearly visible in his cell phone video: First it smokes, then flames erupt from the experimentally created polymer.
