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, ...

Researchers at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville announce that they have made the first-ever 6D measurement of an accelerator beam. Taking measurements in 6D includes the same dimensions of a 3D measurement, plus additional data points for the velocity in each direction along the x, yand z axes.  Until now, scientists stitched together three 2D ...
