Researchers develop golden window electrodes for organic solar cells
Researchers at the University of Warwick have developed a gold plated window as the transparent electrode for organic solar cells. Contrary to what one might expect, these electrodes have the potential to be relatively cheap since the thickness of gold used is only 8 billionths of a metre. This ultra-low thickness means that even...read more »

Printed lighting by PureLux Printed lighting by PureLux
A new material that could enable a special kind of mouldable plastic to create solid-state lighting has been developed by PureLux. The spin out company of Wake Forest University was founded in March 2007 to develop and commercialize advanced lighting technologies that offer exceptional brightness and efficiency through the use of nano-materials in thin...read more »
Promise shown for replacing silicon in electronics
That material, the focus of the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics, is graphene — a fancy name for extremely thin layers of ordinary carbon atoms arranged in a “chicken-wire” lattice. These layers, sometimes just a single atom thick, conduct electricity with virtually no resistance, very little heat generation — and less power consumption than...read more »
Coiled nanowires may hold key to stretchable electronics
Researchers at North Carolina State University have created the first coils of silicon nanowire on a substrate that can be stretched to more than double their original length, moving us closer to incorporating stretchable electronic devices into clothing, implantable health-monitoring devices, and a host of other applications. “In order to create stretchable electronics, you...read more »
