flexible electronics

For decades, silicon has been the foundation of every computer, phone, and digital device we use. But there’s a physical limit to how small we can make silicon-based transistors—and we're getting close to it. Now, a team at Penn State has…

As global demand for high-performance electronics grows, innovation is crucial to meet technology's evolving needs. In this effort, scientists at the University of Minnesota have created a material that allows electrons to move faster while…

Please forgive my butchered use of Don Ho's classic; it is remarkably apt for this new research out of Japan. Scientists at Yokohama National University have developed a new bubble printing method for creating high-precision liquid metal…

Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea created an innovative dry transfer printing technique for flexible electronic devices. This method allows for the transfer of high-quality electronic materials without…

Printed flexible electronics are used for skin patches, thin-film flexible photovoltaics, and automotive interior consoles, among many other uses. This approach to electronics combines additive manufacturing with flexible substrates,…

Phase change inks could transform how we heat and cool buildings, homes, and cars, reducing energy use and global greenhouse gas emissions. Research led by Dr. Mohamad Taha and published in The Royal Society of Chemistry’s Journal of…

We use printed and flexible electronics in applications from energy harvesting to medical sensors to robotics. Due to their low cost, light weight, and flexibility, these hybrid electronics will continue to disrupt the market in 2023 and…

Graphene is an incredibly strong electrical and thermal conductor, making it a perfect ingredient to enhance semiconductor chips found in many electrical devices. There are, however, still roadblocks. Manufacturers have been unable to…

Despite the advantages brought to color imaging by CMOS technology, today's applications, including self-driving cars, flexible electronics, and healthcare and medical imaging, demand even higher resolutions and levels of integration. In…

An arm uses bacteria to taste? Yes, it's sort of what it sounds like. Researchers from the University of California, Davis and Carnegie Mellon University developed an engineered bacteria that allows a robotic gripping arm to "taste"…
