Researchers develop flexible carbon nanotubes that be worn on your finger

In an article in NanoWerks, Japanese researchers successfully tuned carbon nanotubes in order to create terahertz detectors that can flex and wrap around body parts. Their results could lead to the eventual use of terahertz electronics in wrap-around devices, wearable technologies, and photonic devices that cover large areas. Carbon nanotubes are a type of carbon […]

Researchers develop high-speed electronics using graphene

Is there anything graphene cannot improve? Swedish researchers recently used the wonder material to enable electronics that work at terahertz speeds. In an article in Chalmers Microtechnology and Nanoscience Department News, they combined graphene transistors and plastic substrates to create a malleable electronic detector that detects terahertz radiation. The graphene-based detector is the first of […]

Researchers develop an artificial nervous system that gives robots the ability to sense touch

American and Korean researchers have given robots yet another sense once restricted to living organisms: the sense of touch. An article in Science Daily stated that the researchers developed artificial sensory nerves that work like the real thing. When attached to a cockroach’s leg, the artificial nerves can trigger the twitch reflex. The nerves are […]

Researchers develop organic solar cell patches that are so thin they can be heat-printed onto shirts

In a few year’s time, you could be wearing an efficient solar cell on your clothes that is just as thin, light, and flexible as a T-shirt design. In a report from The Mainichi, a Japanese research team recent showcased a new ultra-thin organic photovoltaic (OPV) cell that can be heat-printed onto fabric. The new […]
