New Research May Bring Flexible Electronics Closer to Commercialization
New research from the University of Houston may bring flexible electronics like bioelectric implants and robotic skin very close to commercialization.  The research bottom line:  carbon nanotubes improve and enhance flexible electronics.

Rubber Based
The University of Houston team reports that they have created fully integrated electronics from a robbery semiconductor.  The innovation includes rubbery integrated electronics, logic circuits and arrayed sensory skin...all based on rubber material.

High Speed Mobility
According to leader researcher Asst. Prof. Cunjiang Yu, the key is embedding the new composite rubbery semiconductor with tiny amounts of metallic carbon nanotubes.  That provides the system with high speed mobility, which is essential.

Breakthrough
This is a breakthrough in flexible electronics that could lead to significant advances in smart devices like human-machine interfaces, bioelectric implants and much more.  For more news stories on innovation, go to amazon.com/author/ekane
