Researchers incorporate optoelectronic diodes into fibers and weave them into washable fabrics

Scientists have created nitrides, a material previously considered impossible to obtain

A new manufacturing technique uses a process similar to newspaper printing to form smoother and more flexible metals for making ultrafast electronic devices

Billions of objects ranging from smartphones and watches to buildings, machine parts, and medical devices have become wireless sensors of their environments, expanding a network called the "internet of things."

The technique could lead to new medical treatments for wound healing and direct printing of grafts for skin disorders

Achievement will pave the way to ultra-small optical switches, detectors, and sensors

The method is also an efficient way to produce strong magnets for small places, like sleek handheld electronics

Rice University scientists show how salt lowers reaction temperatures to make novel materials

The researchers found the chemical not only in an electronic waste facility, where it would be expected, but in the bedrooms and living rooms of homes in Bloomington, Indiana

Recent work could lead to development of supersensitive and energy-efficient sensors, detectors, and logical switches for science and communication, memory storage, and other emergent technologies
