New path to flex and stretch electronics
Imprinting electronic circuitry on backplanes that are both flexible and stretchable promises to revolutionize a number of industries and make “smart devices” nearly ubiquitous. Among the applications that have been envisioned are electronic pads that …
Etched quantum dots shape up as single photon emitters, NIST tests show
Like snowflakes or fingerprints, no two quantum dots are identical. But a new etching method for shaping and positioning these semiconductor nanocrystals might change that. What’s more, tests at the National Institute of Standards and Technolo…
