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.

    Asia Ferguson waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were coasters in the park. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Dad were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
    Asia was a hat wearing nigga for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the coasters and he said to dad "I want to be on the coasters daddy."
    Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY COASTERS"
    There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the park at the base of the coaster he knew there were coasters.
    "This is DAD" the radio crackered. "You must fight the coasters!"
    So Asia gotted his hat and climbed up the wall.
    "HE GOING TO KILL US" said the coasters
    "I will shoot at him" said the coaster and he fired the a line of cars. Asia nigged at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
    "No! I must kill the coasters" he shouted
    The radio said "No, Asia. You are batman"
    And then Asia was dead.

    Yawn.

    That was boring.

    I hope the quality of your posting improves, as this post is really crappy.

    Work on your technique and content or get the fuck out.

    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...
