Stanford-led research helps overcome barrier for organic electronics

Electronic devices can't work well unless all of the transistors, or switches, within them allow electrical current to flow easily when they are turned on. A team of engineers has determined why some transistors made of organic crystals don't perform well, yielding ideas about how to make them work better.

Harvesting energy from natural motion

By taking advantage of the vagaries of the natural world, Duke University engineers have developed a novel approach that they believe can more efficiently harvest electricity from the motions of everyday life.

Asphalt a potential source of power

Professor Rajib Mallick and Michael Hulen, president of Novotech Inc are developing a method to turn heat from asphalt and other paving materials into usable power.

Applied Materials, Merck and Braunschweig University awarded funding

Applied Materials, Inc., Merck KGaA and the Braunschweig University of Technology (TU-BS) have announced that they have been awarded a grant by Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to develop processes to lower the cost of manufacturing organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lighting for general illumination applications. Applied will spearhead the three-year project, named Light InLine (LILi), joining forces with Merck, a leading manufacturer of high performance OLED materials and TU-BS, an internationally recognized center for OLED research. Work on the LILi project will be centered at Applied Materials' advanced development facility in Alzenau, Germany.
