Tag: flexible electronicsImplantable Silicon-Silk Electronics Biodegradable circuits could enable better neural interfaces and LED tattoos. Company will sell materials for making organic electronics using silicon manufacturing infrastructure. A new solar-cell design could cut costs and is suitable for large-scale flexible panels. A Camera from a Sheet of Fiber By integrating sensors into a plastic fiber, researchers make a large, flexible camera. Flexible carbon-nanotube supercapacitors could give more power to cell phones and other electronics. Special sheets for bendable displays will soon hit the market. Electronic Inks from Carbon Nanotubes Researchers have solved one of the fundamental problems in making electronics from nanotubes. Sensors could one day diagnose and treat a soldier's injuries. A Helmet Patch to Measure Blasts Researchers are developing a cheap, lightweight plastic strip that can be worn on a soldier's helmet to help diagnose brain injury. A new approach avoids flexible electronics. Plastic Logic will make flexible polymer displays and launch its product in January. Carbon nanotubes combine high performance and flexibility for electronics. Foldable, Stretchable Circuits Researchers have made sheets of high-performance silicon circuits that can bend, fold, and even stretch around complex shapes. Glue That Sticks to Nearly Everything For an easy-to-make adhesive inspired by mussels, possible applications abound. E-jet printing of precise structures out of various materials could prove to be a valuable tool in nano manufacturing. |
