The First Paper-Based Transistors

Roland Piquepaille found news of research out of Portugal that has resulted in the first paper-based transistors (the original article is less informative than Roland's blog). More precisely, they've made the first field effect transistors (FET) with a paper interstrate layer. According to the research team, such transistors offer the same level of performance as 'state-of-the-art, oxide-based thin film transistors produced on glass or crystalline silicon substrates.' Possible applications include disposable electronics devices, such as paper displays, smart labels, bio-applications or RFID tags. The research will be published in IEEE Electron Device Letters in September.

Slashdot Ad Bug!

When viewing an individual article, I'm now seeing ads (when logged in and having a subscription that hasn't run out). I'm not seeing ads anywhere else.

This happening to anyone else?

Have you by chance mailed malda about that one? Either he or hemos will get it sent around to the right individual on their end if you'll just pass it along, perhaps with a screenshot of the article showing the advert...
