Silicon is the main substrate used for the integrated circuits found in almost all electronic equipment available today. However, silicon could soon be replaced by plastic, film or even fabrics, with ...

ThinFilm Electronics says it has assembled the pieces for a simple printed-on-plastic computing device with processing power, memory, and display that will enable "smart objects" and an Internet of ...

Computers used to require entire buildings to operate. Now they fit in our pockets. Similarly, factory-size electronics manufacturing is approaching a contraction. Want proof? Look at that $50 printer ...

In a groundbreaking new study, researchers used a customized, low-cost 3-D printer to print electronics on a real hand for the first time. The technology could be used by soldiers on the battlefield ...

The attractiveness of printing electronics over more conventional approaches lies in its potential to pattern large-areas and flexible devices inexpensively on plastic substrates. 1 Such technologies ...

Norwegian-owned Thin Film Electronics, or Thinfilm, is in the business of printing electronics in massive volumes at a fraction of the cost of traditional silicon-based products. Its offerings range ...

Creating smart sensors to embed in our everyday objects and environments for the Internet of Things (IoT) would vastly improve daily life—but requires trillions of such small devices. Simon Fraser ...

While memory devices are becoming progressively more flexible, their ease of fabrication and integration in low performance applications have been generally been treated as being of secondary ...

Researchers at AMBER have managed to crack a method of printing electronics in 2D for the first time using graphene, potentially leading to smart food labels. The days when electronics could only be ...
