Flexible electronics: Flexible carbon nanotube circuits more reliable and power efficient

Tuesday, March 18, 2014 - 12:32 in Physics & Chemistry

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.
