Self-healing soft electronic devices that can recover their mechanical and electrical properties are of use in the development of long-term wearable and implantable electronic systems. However, ...

Lindell Williams (left) and Grant Brodnik align an optical fiber with the edge of an integrated photonics chip. Optical fibers act as pipes for light, enabling the light generated on these chips to be ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

Skin-like soft electronics offer conformal, stable interfaces with biological tissues — including skin, heart, brain, muscle and gut — enabling health monitoring, disease diagnosis and closed-loop ...

In a proof-of-concept study, researchers have created self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can perform simple logic functions. The work demonstrates that it is possible to create stable digital ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses high performance integrated photonic-circuit-based on inverse design method. With the explosive growth of information and data, photonic ...

What Is A Hybrid Integrated Circuit? A hybrid integrated circuit (HIC) or a hybrid microcircuit, is a miniaturised electronic circuit that combines different electronic components on a single platform ...

Computer chips that cram billions of electronic devices into a few square inches have powered the digital economy and transformed the world. Scientists may be on the cusp of launching a similar ...
