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 ...

Health monitoring is becoming increasingly critical for disease prevention, early diagnosis, and high-quality living.

The innovative preparation technologies of LM thin films cover patterned printing methods, various coating technologies, and interface-driven assembly, etc., while their innovative applications in the ...

Tiny electronic devices, called microelectronics, may one day be printed as easily as words on a page, thanks to new research from scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National ...

Penn State scientists create elastic gel-like plastic that conducts electricity using salts and tiny fiber networks for flexible electronics.

Flexible substrates form the backbone of these devices, providing a thin and bendable surface for electronic components. Common materials include: Printing technologies (inkjet, screen, gravure) allow ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Electronic devices that monitor vital signs often fail when stretched or twisted, limiting their use in medical monitoring. Rigid circuit boards crack, flexible materials degrade, ...

Making computer chips smaller is not just about better design. It also depends on a critical step in manufacturing called patterning, where nanoscale structures are carved into materials to form the ...

Graphene has long been hailed as a "wonder material." It is incredibly strong, highly conductive and almost impossibly thin—just one atom thick. These properties make it a promising candidate for next ...

A new method for printing 2D material transistors delivers flexibility and performance without the toxic trade-offs of traditional fabrication. Study: Ionic-Liquid Free and Flexible Transistors Made ...
