A recent review takes a look at the progress of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and their potential applications in flexible electronics. The authors explore the recent progress of OFET technology and some of the exciting, flexible electronic applications addressed by it.
Chemical engineers have extended the centuries-old practice to produce intricate shapes made of glass or other hard materials. Their thoroughly modern method, which can be combined with 3D printing, could have applications ranging from sculpture to catalysis and beyond.
Stacked layers of ultrathin semiconductor materials feature phenomena that can be exploited for novel applications. Physicists have now studied effects that emerge by giving two layers a slight twist.
