TO THOSE WHO DON'T WANT THEIR WORK PROMOTED

Hey guys and gals! We FIND and PROMOTE people's work, we never take credit for things we haven't written, we just love sharing the things that are interesting, but if you don't want your work or pictures shown, please let me know and I'll take it off, we're not trying to harm any one here or infringe on anyone's copyrights, just late night entertainment for my friends and I after a long days of work.

We're not making money off the site, nor are we publishing anything to other places through feedburner claiming that it's our work, just a hobby of finding cool things around the internet, that's all. Sometimes we copy and paste too quickly and a link giving you credit doesn't appear, if that's the case and you DO want your work promoted, we will add in the backlink, we would love to give credit where credit is due!

Please contact me or drop a comment on any posts you guys don't want up and I'll take it off within 24 hours, thanks!

Researchers Develop Stretchable Silicon Integrated Circuits | DoSci - Science Blog

Fully Stretchable Silicon Integrated Circuits

The silicon has proven once again its capabilities and now it can be coiled around spheres and other shapes without losing its electric performance. This new silicon integrated circuit was developed by a team of researchers from the Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois.

According to John Rogers, Founder Professor of MSE at the UI, their silicone integrated circuit can stretch, fold, bend and compress without any problem and as we said before, it doesn’t lose its electrical performances. This new silicon technology can provide devices that will monitor your health or it can be wrapped around aircraft wings.

This new study is a sequel of a project made by Prof. Rogers and his team that was finished in December 2005 consisting of a one-dimensional single-crystal silicon and now the extension of the silicon can go in two dimensions.

The researchers wanted to develop integrated circuits that can be applied to complex systems and they were helped by the wavy concept as Prof. Rogers says: “The wavy concept now incorporates optimized mechanical designs and diverse sets of materials, all integrated together in systems that involve spatially varying thicknesses and material types”.

These new silicon integrated circuits are high-performance and the developers claim that this technology “goes well beyond what planar configurations on semiconductor wafers can offer”.
