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?

Scientists from the Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology (CEST) and the Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences have developed a novel approach for preparing thin semiconductor fullerene films. The method enables fabrication of organic electronics without using toxic organic solvents and costly vacuum technologies, thus reducing the environmental risks and making organic electronics more accessible.
