High-Performance Flexible Organic Transistors

Roland Piquepaille writes "Organic — or carbon-based — transistors are not new and can be used to design flexible computer displays, RFID tags and sensors. However, these organic single crystals could not be mass-produced because they needed to be individually handpicked. But now, researchers at Stanford University and the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a new method for building flexible organic transistor arrays. Even if the researchers have reached a density of 13 million crystals per square inch (or 2 million per square centimeter), there are still several issues to solve before this method can be used for commercial applications of these fast transistors."

Has Roland reformed?

[RobertB-DC]

I had to look twice, but sure enough, there are no links to Roland's ZDNet blog in this submission! No "But click here for more information", nothing but a single link to a source document. I don't think anyone can begrudge him the link in his name.

So perhaps Roland has reformed, or perhaps the Slashdot editors just got tired of our whining and broke out the scissors.

But I'm still going to tag the article as "pigpile", just because it's fun.
