For decades, the electronics industry has optimized primarily for cost, speed, and scale. While this approach fueled rapid innovation, it often came at the expense of transparency, repairability, and ...

(Nanowerk News) As silicon-based computer chips approach their physical limitations in the quest for faster and smaller designs, the search for alternative materials that remain functional at atomic ...

A new frontier in nanoscale and flexible electronics has emerged in the last decade, based on thin materials consisting of just a few layers of atoms. However, unlike conventional semiconductor ...

A layer transfer technique called ‘controlled spalling’ that creates many thin layers from a single gallium nitride (GaN) wafer has been demonstrated by researchers from IBM Research. Integrated ...

Metals are dissolved liquid metals to create super-thin oxide layers which can be extracted easily. This image of a liquid metal 'slug' and its clear atom-thick 'trail' shows the breakthrough in ...

Stretchable, flexible electronics are an attractive component for skin-attached sensors and monitors. A team at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) has developed these electronics ...

OLED displays are the biggest opportunity for flexible encapsulation and for that reason IDTechEx has highlighted the most significant advances in the technology in its recently updated report on the ...
