Flat screen television sets. German scientists said Wednesday they had tweaked organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) -- the materials used in
flat-screen TVs, laptop computer screens and mobile phone displays -- to become
flexible,...

Physicists at the University of Utah just make a board spintronics based on a
plastic semiconductor similar to that used in organic light emitting diodes
(Oled). A first that...

Acoustic waves play many everyday roles - from communication
between people to ultrasound imaging. Now the highest frequency acoustic waves
in materials, with nearly atomic-scale wavelengths, promise to be useful probes
of...

Using tiny gold particles embedded with dyes, researchers have shown that they can identify tumors under the skin of a living animal. These tools may allow doctors to detect and diagnose cancer earlier and less invasively
Studded with...

Researchers are investigating a new kind of
microelectronics called spintronics. These devices will rely on the
spindependent behavior of electrons in addition to (or even instead of)
conventional charge-based circuitry. Researchers in...
