Toward 'vanishing' electronics and unlocking nanomaterials' power potential Posted: 17 Mar 2014 02:43 PM PDT Brain sensors and electronic tags that dissolve. Boosting the potential of renewable energy sources. These are examples of the latest research from two pioneering scientists. Tackling health and sustainability issues simultaneously, scientists are developing a vast toolbox of materials -- from magnesium and silicon to silk and even rice paper -- to make biodegradable electronics that can potentially be used in a range of applications.

Flexible electronics: Flexible carbon nanotube circuits more reliable and power efficient Posted: 17 Mar 2014 12:56 PM PDT Engineers want to create flexible electronic devices, like e-readers that could fold into a pocket. One approach involves designing circuits based on carbon nanotubes instead of rigid silicon chips. But silicon chips are designed to function flawlessly despite power fluctuations. This is more challenging to do with CNT circuits. Scientists have now developed a process to create flexible CNT chips that can tolerate power fluctuation, bringing high-performance flexible electronics closer to reality.
