Stretchable Silicon Circuits Promise Gadgeds in Many Shapes
	The new foldable integrated silicon circuits developed at the University of Illinois could turn the brittle electronic devices we use today into elastic silicon and plastic circuits only 1.5 micrometers thick, that can absorb the mechanical stress applied on them without suffering any damage. The inventor of the device, John Rogers says: "Making it thin makes it bendable, just as a piece of paper is bendable whereas a piece of wood is ... [read more >>]

A Paper-Thin Flexible Battery
	The continuously advancing technology of portable electronic devices asks for more flexible batteries to power them. A Japanese team at Waseda University have developed a paper-like rechargeable battery. The battery is made of a redox-active organic polymer film roughly 200 nanometers thick and attached nitroxide radical groups function like charge carriers. The high radical density induces the battery a high charge/disch ... [read more >>]
