The industrial revolution was spun out of textile production and a wealth of knowledge is integrated in this mature production technology. The number of potential applications for multifunctional ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In the future, wearable electronics will go far beyond just very small electronic devices. Not only will such devices be embedded on textile substrates, but an electronics device ...

image: For the first time, researchers have developed crystalline materials that allow an optical fiber to have integrated, high-speed electronic functions. The potential applications of such optical ...

Electronic materials have been a major stumbling block for the advance of flexible electronics because existing materials do not function well after breaking and healing. A new electronic material ...

Human-machine interaction is increasingly part of our daily lives. Examples are wearable devices that monitor our vital functions, beds that measure our sleeping patterns, and car interiors that ...

Scientists have developed a self-healing, recyclable circuit board using vitrimer and liquid metal. The material maintains conductivity after damage, reshapes under heat, and may reduce growing ...

We generally associate the term “semiconductor” with the phrase “solid state” as if they’re the same thing. That makes sense, given that our industry’s literal and figurative foundations are usually ...
