Glasgow researchers embed nanowires in flexible surfaces for bendable electronics manufacturing

A new form of electronics manufacturing which embeds silicon nanowires into flexible surfaces could lead to radical new forms of bendable electronics,  say engineers from the University of Glasgow who have been able to affordably ‘print’ high-mobility semiconductor nanowires onto flexible surfaces to develop high-performance ultra-thin electronic layers. Those surfaces, which can be bent, flexed and twisted, ...
