The scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign had a promising research on carbon nanotubes. Put simply (or as simply as possible), researchers have discovered that “networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes printed onto bendable plastic perform well as semiconductors in integrated circuits.” So well, in fact, that the nanotube networks could one day “replace organic semiconductors in applications such as flexible displays.” Granted, there is still much to do before these networks are ready for product integration, but you can bet these folks aren’t hitting the brakes after coming this far.
