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 ...

The finding that cells in the human body are capable of generating and responding to electrical stimuli has motivated scientists to develop technologies to electrically interrogate and actuate ...

We have always had programmable analog circuits. Any circuit that makes outputs change as a function of inputs is in some way programmable. Examples include gain change as a function of voltage or ...

In many designs, the differentiator between a circuit that works “pretty well” and one that works “really well” is the addition of modest supervisory and support functions. It’s even better if these ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The integration of electronics into clothing promises to transform how we interact with technology, but the fundamental materials have consistently fallen short. Attempts to weave ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Imagine a hospital gown that continuously monitors vital signs or a firefighter's uniform that detects dangerous temperatures - but only if these smart garments can survive ...

Portland, Ore. — A conductive plastic that mixes electronics functions into the material before it is cured could make possible products ranging from disposable e-newspapers to large-scale organic ...

The possibility of creating a frequency-tunable function generator with rectangular and triangular pulses of constant amplitude and electronic synchronous control of equivalent capacitances in the ...
