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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The development of flexible electronic devices has faced a persistent materials science challenge: how to securely attach rigid metal components to flexible polymer surfaces.

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 ...

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 ...

Engineers discovered hidden cracks in flexible electronics and proposed a new design that could make foldable devices and solar cells more durable. (Nanowerk News) From health monitors and ...

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 ...
