Breakthrough in Flexible Electronics
Stretchable Semiconductors and Integrated Electronics Source: University of Houston 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.
