Printed flexible OLED display Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Korea Institute of Industrial Technology used a customized 3D printer to print a flexible OLED display. “OLED displays are usually produced in big, expensive, ultra-clean fabrication facilities,” said Michael McAlpine, a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Minnes... » read more

Screen Printed Chipless RFID Tags on Packaging Substrates
By Technical Paper Link - 20 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "A chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is a suitable low-cost alternative to any chip-based RFID one. The flexibility to use low-cost printing techniques makes chipless RFID a competitive technology. In this paper, we report an evaluation of the microwave performance of two different screen-printed chipless tags in the 3–6 GHz range. The tags were designed and scre... » read more

Dual Surface Architectonics for Directed Self‐Assembly of Ultrahigh‐Resolution Electronics
By Technical Paper Link - 11 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "The directed self‐assembly of electronic circuits using functional metallic inks has attracted intensive attention because of its high compatibility with extensive applications ranging from soft printed circuits to wearable devices. However, the typical resolution of conventional self‐assembly technologies is not sufficient for practical applications in the rapidly evolving addi... » read more

Quiet qubits Researchers at the University of New South Wales Sydney recorded the lowest noise levels yet for a semiconductor qubit. Charge noise caused by material imperfections interferes with the information encoded on qubits, reducing accuracy. "The level of charge noise in semiconductor qubits has been a critical obstacle to achieving the accuracy levels we need for large-scale error-c... » read more

More stable quantum states Researchers at the University of Chicago found a way to make quantum systems retain coherency 10,000 times longer. The fragile nature of quantum states remains a challenge for developing practical applications of quantum computing, as they can be easily disrupted by background noise coming from vibrations, temperature changes or stray electromagnetic fields.

Make Way For Flexible ICs
By Ed Sperling - 16 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

The push to develop intelligent sensors everywhere does not require everything to be on a silicon substrate. In fact, a growing part of the market increasingly is focused on flexible substrates. The market for printed sensors is roughly $3.6 billion today, according to a new report by IDTechEx. In a decade, that number is expected to grow to $4.5 billion, according to the firm, with growth i... » read more
