Over the last few decades, society has experienced
remarkable transformations in the way it lives and works
based on developments in Si-based electronics. In the near
future, we envision a new and equally transforming
technology to develop around flexible electronics
especially as we learn to produce them inexpensively and in
extremely large quantities. Adding flexible form and
function to electronics will transform to an unprecedented
degree our view of electronics and how we, as a society,
interact with intelligent and responsive systems.
Electronics will no longer be seen as separate devices, but
rather as an expected attribute of nearly everything
produced. In order for the United States to remain
competitive in this new industrial order, entirely new
concepts are needed to satisfy the form, function and cost
requirements of such innovative flexible electronic
systems.
News:
We are pleased to announce that a National Science
Foundation supported IGERT program in Flexible Electronics
for Life Science Applications will begin this fall.
