"We connect these traces to an external power supply and microcontroller to send and receive electrical signals," he continued.

Zheng then manually brushed silver conductive ink onto the sandblasted traces, which was finally scraped off to leave inlaid conductive traces on the ceramic vessel. Plates could help give data on eating activity This saw them mask the ceramic objects with vinyl stickers cut into circuit-design shapes before blasting them with alumide powder, which removes materials from the unmasked parts of the vessel.
The designers used a resist-blasting technique developed by Tan to make the ceramics conductive. Clement Zheng and the team also developed heat-sensing tiles
Other pieces in the collection include tiles that can sensor heat or temperature changes and could be used to detect a boiling kettle or wet floors, as well as a moisture-sensing plant pot that could help users keep track of plants' moisture levels.
The team also created a plate with four electrodes that could monitor eating activity and a plate with a heating circuit that could heat the plate up to 100 degrees Celsius and be used to keep food warm during meal service.
