New “transient electronics” dissolve in the presence of water, opening up a new range of possible applications. Image via the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois and Tufts University For most of ...

A team of engineers today announced a discovery that could change the world of electronics forever. Called an “epidermal electronic system” (EES), it’s basically an electronic circuit mounted on your ...

The increasing demand for ever-faster information processing has ushered in a new era of research focused on high-speed electronics operating at frequencies nearing terahertz and petahertz regimes.

Scientists have engineered one of the world's smallest electronic circuits. It is formed by two wires separated by only about 150 atoms or 15 nanometers. A team of scientists, led by Guillaume Gervais ...

As the days go by we continue to hear more stories about the vast capabilities of 3-D printing technology--from printing working medical devices such as vein finders, to producing actual viable blood ...

There is a new way to design computer chips and electronic circuitry for extreme environments: make them out of diamond. There is a new way to design computer chips and electronic circuitry for ...

As a kid, temporary tattoos might have been just a way to show your love of Bugs Bunny, but soon we could be wearing them as gaudy touchpads or to measure the levels of glucose or alcohol in our blood ...

A team at Stanford University created a semiconducting polymer that is easily biodegradable in the presence of nothing more than standard vinegar. Beyond being biodegradable, the polymer is also ...

Here are two electronics 3-D printing technologies that could potentially be of interest to 3D Systems Corporation. Project Ara Project Ara's goal is to create a large-scale 3-D printing manufacturing ...

It’s already possible to make circuitry that flexes and can even roll up like a scroll. What’s not yet available are circuits that can conform to more-complicated surfaces, like robotic bodies and ...

Scientists have developed a way to produce soft, flexible and stretchy electronic circuits and radio antennas by hand, simply by writing on specially designed sheets of material. This technique could ...

However, characterizing and diagnosing such devices pose a significant challenge due to the limitations of available diagnostic tools, particularly in terms of speed and spatial resolution. How shall ...
