Researchers from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed heat-shrinkable polymers that can be used to laminate organic photovoltaic devices onto curved surfaces. They said ...

Heat-shrinkable technology developed by an all-RIKEN team could allow solar cells and touch sensors to be attached to objects whose shapes make them challenging to laminate 1. Recent studies have ...

Recent studies have indicated that curved solar-cell panels capture sunlight more efficiently than flat ones on cloudy days. One way to produce curved electronics is with rubber-like substrates, but ...

Homeowners can be hesitant about the possibility of tiling curved surfaces, especially for the shower. However, adding tiles is not just a matter of aesthetics; it also increases the ease of ...

Stretchable elastomer paints form conductive and insulating layers directly on curved surfaces, enabling multilayer soft electronics for sensing and energy harvesting without transfers or specialized ...

A researcher from the University of Tokyo and a U.S.-based structural engineer developed a new computational form-finding method that could change how architects and engineers design lightweight and ...

image: NC State tesearchers have demonstrated a new technique for directly printing electronic circuits onto curved and corrugated surfaces. The work paves the way for a variety of new soft electronic ...
