• Wake Forest researcher awarded NSF grant to develop novel flexible electronics

  Advances in organic semiconductor technology could one day lead to video screens that bend like paper and electronics sewn into clothing. A team of researchers at Wake Forest University will help to make these flexible devices a reality by studying the relation between the physical structure and ele more

• Paint-on plastic electronics: Aligning polymers for high performance

  Semiconducting polymers are an unruly bunch, but University of Michigan engineers have developed a new method for getting them in line that could pave the way for cheaper, greener, "paint-on" plastic electronics. "This is for the first time a thin-layer, conducting, highly aligned film for high-perf more

• How to make contact between carbon compounds and metals
  

  Organic electronics has already hit the market in smart-phone displays and holds great promise for future applications like flexible electroluminescent foils (a potential replacement for conventional light bulbs) or solar cells that convert sunlight to electricity. A reoccurring problem in this tech more

• Organic Electronics: Bifunctional Star‐Burst Amorphous Molecular Materials for OLEDs: Achieving Highly Efficient Solid‐State Luminescence and Carrier Transport Induced by Spont ...

  A design strategy for achieving both efficient solid‐state luminescence and high carrier transport properties in organic amorphous molecular materials is demonstrated by Chihaya Adachi, Takuma Yasuda, and co‐workers on page 2666. The designed star‐burst molecules form amorphous solid films, in wh more

• A Modulated Helical Nanofilament Phase

  A new liquid crystal phase, denoted modulated helical nanofilament (HNF(mod)), is formed from a very simple class of biphenyl‐carboxylates lacking the benzylidene aniline moieties typically found in HNF mesogens. The HNF(mod) phase represents a novel kind of nanoparticle possessing stacked aromat more

• Molecules, Vol. 18, Pages 4091-4119: Coordination Programming of Photofunctional Molecules

  Our recent achievements relating to photofunctional molecules are addressed. Section 1 discloses a new concept of photoisomerization. Pyridylpyrimidine-copper complexes undergo a ring inversion that can be modulated by the redox state of the copper center. In combination with an intermolecular photo more
