organic-electronic

Have you ever thought of substituting that huge backpack of textbooks with a single electronic paper sheet – keeping all that data on one device folded and kept in your wallet? What about a ride in a solar-powered vehicle stretched around you like skin?

Are organic semiconductors as good as silicon semiconductors ? Apparently they are even better! Prof. Thomas Weitz and colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and at BASF are able to produce highly efficient organic thin film transistors.
