The UK-based Centre for Process Innovation is piloting Beneq's groundbreaking roll-to-roll ALD system.

All the possible uses for graphene face the same big hurdle: the need for a scalable and cost-effective method for continuous manufacturing of graphene films.

Sensors based on special sound waves known as surface acoustic waves are capable of detecting tiny amounts of antigens of Influenza A viruses.

Silver nanowire ink expected to be a conductive material of the next generation

VTT has developed a sensor that detects ethanol in the headspace of a food package.

Printed, organic and flexible electronics is an industry that includes various components and technologies, from relatively simple electrochemical sensors to flexible X-ray detectors. From an end-user's point of view, the main advantages are disposability, large area, and conformability. In this article we focus on healthcare and review the wide range of devices targeted for medical applications.

Not only will the use of RFID in China become a $4.3 billion market in 2025, but that figure will almost double if we include the value of tags and readers made in the country and exported elsewhere.

Scientists have moved graphene a significant step along the path from lab bench novelty to commercially viable material for new electronic applications.

A moth's eye and lotus leaf were the inspirations for an antireflective water-repelling, or superhydrophobic, glass coating that holds significant potential for solar panels.

Researchers have designed a smectic liquid crystal that overcomes many of the challenges posed by organic field effect transistor materials.

Carbon nanotubes were the wonder material more than a decade ago. We think that multi-walled carbon nanotubes are being pulled out of the valley of despair thanks to a series of real applications in the conducting composite and energy storage sectors.

Thin Film Electronics ASA has announced that its NFC products will be the first NFC-based solutions to be included in the World Customs Organization IPM anti-counterfeiting tool.
