Layer-by-layer electrospinning and textile weaving yield seamless, weavable energy storage architectures suitable for flexible electronics, wearables and custom-shaped devices. - Flexible, conformable design suitable for wearable and textile-integrated electronics.
This novel method of creating detecting and classifying user interaction with a touchscreen device can cheaply and easily make large displays into pressure-sensitive surfaces and enables the use of irregular shaped or lightweight, weatherproof, or damage-resistant materials into touch interfaces. As touchscreens become more ubiquitous, there arises a demonstrable need for new types of touch interfaces that will work with future technologies and integrate into irregular structures. PLASTIC, Pressure & Location-based Acoustic Sensing Touch Interface Using Classification, is a system that makes use of a resonant touch interface, a single mechanical exciter, a single mechanical sensor, and a simple trained machine learning classifier to create many new types of versatile, adaptable, dynamic touch interfaces.
Flexible optoelectronics are emerging as an exciting new technology for use in flexible versions of traditional rigid displays, such as smartphones, tablets, and e-paper, as well as new wearables, RFID tags, artificial skin, and the Internet of Things. This superomniphobic, high transparency, ultrahigh haze PET will lead to exciting new developments in solar cell systems, camera lenses, eyeglasses, windows, smartphones, wearables, and so much more. · Flexible versions of traditionally rigid displays, such as smartphones and tablets. · New wearables. · RFID tags. · Artificial skin. · Solar cells. · Camera lenses.
