flexible electronics

University of Delaware researchers developed a method to produce high-performance, flexible optical devices using chalcogenide glass and polymers. This new method produced the lowest optical loss ever recorded, close to an order of magnitude below other flexible optical devices.

A new flexible supercapacitor with a volumetric energy density of 6.3 microwatt hours per cubic millimeter is said to have the highest reported storage capacity by volume reported for carbon-based microscale supercapacitors. The device was created by a team of researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Tsinghua University and Case Western Reserve University.
