Although organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) made from organic semiconductors are valued for their transparency, flexibility and low cost attributes, their sluggish response time due to slow carrier mobility limits their applications.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple and effective method to sort semiconducting from metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). This scalable technique uses semiconducting polymers to wrap around individual semiconducting SWNTs dispersed in a solution.
Stanford researchers successfully purified highly enriched semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) free of any dispersing agent via an easy, fast and scalable method.
Researchers in Prof. Sachin Katti's laboratory have developed WiDeo, a motion tracing camera using WiFi signals as the light source. This patented, high resolution system accurately traces human motion in indoor environments using WiFi signals and compact WiFi radios.
Researchers in Dr. Juan Rivas-Davila's lab have developed 3D printing methods to make aircore inductors and capacitors with more complex geometries and functionality than components using printed circuit boards.
Stanford researchers are using nanowires (NWs) to raise the performance of organic solar cells. Organic solar cells' main weakness is their lack of efficiency compared to in-organic solar cells.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab at Stanford have developed a series of imidazole derivatives for solution processed, n-type doped organic electronic devices.
Researchers in Professor Zhenan Bao's group at Stanford University have created a thin-film pressure sensor device structure so sensitive it can detect the slightest touch.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a low-cost, solution-processed method to fabricate a flexible nanowire mesh that can be used in transparent electrodes, as a replacement for metal oxides (such as ITO, indium tin oxide).
