Adhesive for Delicate Structures
Delo has introduced a new electronic adhesive with several very interesting material properties.
Monte Carlo Models Micro-OFETs
Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) use voltage to control the flow of current in an electronic circuit. The channel connecting the source and drain is, in this case, made of an organic semiconductor. Improvements in performance of OFETs, in particular their...
Fullerene Modifiers Boost Organic Photovoltaics Efficiency
Researchers demonstrate that a nanometer thin fullerene interfacial layer can effectively improve the organic-metal oxide heterojunction of inverted OPV cells.
Bioinspired Robotics
Mechanical engineer Sangbae Kim builds animal-like machines for use in disaster response.
Floods of Energy from Flowing Water
Researchers propose a new idea about the origin of piezoelectric energy generation in graphene.
Borophene is the New Graphene
First-principles analyses of the mechanical properties of borophene – a novel material for flexible nanoelectromechanical devices.
Electronic Analogue to Mie Scattering in Graphene
Recently, researchers at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg presented an electronic analogue of Mie scattering.
Melt-Processed Semiconducting Polymer Blends for Flexible Devices
A collaborative team of researchers at Purdue University and the University of California Santa Cruz have reported a strategy that overcomes the issue of solvent by employing a melt-processing technique.
