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.
I smoke a lot, not sure I want my clove cigarettes talking back to me...
Clove: Aio, I'm the fifth cigarette you've had in twenty minutes, perhaps you should go back in and work?
Aio: But there's still 15 of you delicious cancer sticks in the box!
Clove: We know this Aio, please go back to work, we're picking up a ticket in your queue...
Aio: One more...
Clove: Go back now or we'll explode in 5...4...3...
