The history of flexible electronics is extensive. Over half a century ago, single crystalline silicon solar cells were thinned to increase their power/weight ratio to make them suitable for ...

Flexible and stretchable electronics have gained significance owing to their ability to be compressed, twisted, and molded into non-planar surfaces. Soft, flexible, and stretchable materials ...

The FLEX Conference, held again this year in conjunction with SEMICON West 2023, provided numerous examples of continued developments in flexible, printed, and flexible hybrid electronics technologies ...

Hydrogels have emerged as a promising candidate for developing bioelectronics, which interface living biological tissues with synthetic electronic systems. These hydrogels closely mimic the mechanical ...

While we are working on the integration of automation and data exchange in manufacturing in the era of Industry 4.0, extensive research and development has started on Industry 5.0 that aims to achieve ...

A market survey for transparent electronics reported by IDTechEx predicts market growth of twenty billion dollars by 2041. According to the report, thin film transistors (TFTs), display devices, ...

A new material for flexible electronics could enable multilayered, recyclable electronic devices and help limit e-waste. Electronic waste, or e-waste, is a rapidly growing global problem, and it's ...

The realm of flexible electronics is not limited to plastic substrates alone. Innovations have introduced an array of materials, including textiles, ultra-thin glass, and even paper. These substrates ...

A team of researchers has developed a new material that’s not only elastic, but is impervious to gases and liquids – something this kind of material is usually bad at. The material could be useful for ...
