Low cost energy storage

A team of researchers has developed a cheap, rechargeable and eco-friendly battery that could be used to store energy at solar power plants for a rainy day.

Clothing as a supercapacitor

The once-cotton T-shirt proved to be a repository for electricity. By using small swatches of the fabric as an electrode, the researchers showed that the flexible material, which Li's team terms activated carbon textile, acts as a capacitor.

Rapid, uniform dispersion method for carbon nanotubes

Harnessing the power of carbon nanotubes could get considerably easier, thanks to an advance by engineers from the University of South Carolina and the University of Georgia.

Ink-jet printed circuits for OLED displays

UCLA researchers demonstrate fully printed carbon nanotube transistor circuits for displays.

Moser Baer Technologies and Universal Display Corporation announce technology & licensing agreement for energy-efficient white OLED lighting

Graphene OPV - or will T-shirts soon power cell phones

A flexible, printable material four or fewer atoms thick may be a high road to economical and convenient electrical power from the sun.

Lab plays key role in Department of Energy's artificial retina project

Scientists and engineers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are developing the electronics for a third-generation artificial retina.

Aneeve to develop hormone sensors from inkjet printed carbon nanotubes

New start-up company Aneeve Nanotechnologies may be able to provide consumer based easy to use sensors that detect oestrogen and progesterone hormone levels in menopausal women.

Universal Display and the Flexible Display Center at ASU

Universal Display and the Flexible Display Center at ASU enhance strategic relationship to supply flexible active-matrix pholed display prototypes to U.S. Army. Universal Display also awarded $650,000 U.S. Army SBIR Phase II Enhancement Program to support demonstration of enhanced-performance AMOLEDs on plastic substrates.

Thin films and nanotechnology for power

Printed electronics and electrics will be a $335 billion business in twenty years, just for devices primarily made by printing with electronic inks. IDTechEx gives a summary of the projections.

Advanced flexible OLEDs closer to mass market

The Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University and Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ: PANL), has introduced the first a-Si:H active matrix flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display to be manufactured directly on DuPont Teijin's polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate.

Video newspapers with high-performance transparent electronics

Aligned nanotubes pave the way for high-performance transparent electronics.
