Organic Superconductors?

[TechStuf]

I think the advance of technology will eventually become organic,

It already has.....you don't think GMOs are all they are playing with do you.....?


Given what a thoroughly compromised world power structure is doing to the planet now....I shudder to think what they'd come up with in the bio-integration department.

Thought provoking thread...I too have heard stories related to this...organic alien crafts among them.

After all, doesn't electrical energy also flow through our organic bodies ?

...


There are reports of human/animal genetic mutations caged in underground labs.

And nothing violent or gory would be off limits for the criminally insane bunch of inbreds controlling things...pedophiles are limited only by means and opportunity.

The technology area of “Printed Electronics” offers promise for a new line of foldable, rollable, edible, stretchable, biodegradable and paper-thin electronic devices. Printed electronics is an innovative technology area that uses established commercial printing techniques (such as ink-jet, and screen printing) with conductive inks to print electronic circuits on paper, plastic, and textile materials. The technique of printing electronic circuits, as opposed to manufacturing them, allows engineers to input and alter specifications of devices directly into a computer, which in turn prints them onto a thin and flexible substrate. A series of current projects are utilizing traditional silicon technology for their conductive inks, like the Silicon Valley startup Kovio, Inc. which is developing advanced R.F.I.D. and smart-display technologies. Others are using organic (carbon-based) compounds like those used in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). The Dutch company Polymer Vision has used organic conductors to develop the world’s first rollable display, their Readius® pocket reader. The technology sector promises to be a highly disruptive one, drastically driving down the cost of electronics that use traditional manufactured silicon electronic circuitry. By mechanizing and standardizing production the world may see electronics with exponentially more applications than, and at a fraction of the cost of, current consumer products. Printed Electronics also has a slew of potential breakthrough applications. Self-adjusting text (like that used in Polymer Vision’s Readius®) could produce a line of self-changing advertisements which could revolutionize the field of advertising. Avanced Radio Frequency Identification, R.F.I.D, could lead to smart I.D. cards for next-generation building or home-security. And edible and wearable electronics could lead to a line of non-invasive diagnostic tools for doctors.

The printed battery is one of the most exciting applications of the printed electronics ecosystem. These paper-thin and eventually inexpensive energy-storing devices have the potential to affect the entire consumer electronics market, a $135 billion market in 2006, and projected to reach $158 billion in 2008. Thin Battery Technologies, Inc., is a leader in the field in the creation of a reliable printed Battery. An Ohio company founded in January 2003 to commercialize and progress printed battery research, Thin Battery Technologies was funded by private investors led by Early Stage Partners. The company was built upon acquired intellectual property, the result of 5 years of R&D at Eveready Battery company. Thin Battery Technologies uses Carbon-Zinc electrolyte solutions for their battery printing, which is more resistant to extreme temperatures and more environmentally safe than competing magnesium alloy solutions. The use of printed batteries offers the promise of cheaper and smaller devices than have ever been produced, and could change the face of the entire $158 billion consumer electronics market.

OLED's

06 April 2008 - It may not be a living breathing circuit, but it may be the next best thing. Researchers from the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) have found a way to bridge the gap between organic and conventional circuits.

Organic (carbon based) circuits are exactly what they sound like â€" organic alternatives to conventional (silicon based) circuit components. These circuits are attractive to industry leaders because they are potentially cheaper, smaller and more energy efficient than silicon alternatives. Companies such as Philips are already developing primitive OLED (organic LED) displays which offer far more flexibility than traditional LCD screens.

However, one problem with integrating organic components into modern circuit chips is the chip itself. This is because substrates compatible with the industry’s current standard, called CMOS, are not compatible with the new organic standard. But recently the NIST team overcame this barrier by depositing organic devices on a CMOS-friendly chip. Furthermore, the deposited devices have proven to be stable, and possess all the qualities required of an organic resistor.

The team plans to continue their research by manufacturing hybrid organic/silicon circuits. They believe that this research goes a fair ways toward integration of the emerging field of organic circuitry with existing consumer electronics.

Carbon nanotube 'ink' may lead to thinner, lighter transistors and solar cells


SOURCE-http://www.physorg.com/news150650570.html


(PhysOrg.com) -- Using a simple chemical process, scientists at Cornell and DuPont have invented a method of preparing carbon nanotubes for suspension in a semiconducting "ink," which can then be printed into such thin, flexible electronics as transistors and photovoltaic materials.


The method, which involves treating carbon nanotubes with fluorine-based molecules, is reported in the Jan. 9 issue of the journal Science (Vol. 323 No. 234). The research was jointly led by Graciela B. Blanchet, a research fellow at DuPont, and George Malliaras, Cornell associate professor of materials science and engineering and the Lester B. Knight Director of the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility. Helen Lu, a research chemist at Dupont, and Mandakini Kanungo, a former Cornell postdoctoral fellow now at Xerox, also worked on the project.

Carbon nanotubes are good candidates for transistors in low-cost, printable electronics, but only after large quantities of them have been converted into semiconductors. When carbon nanotubes are grown in the lab, some are semiconducting but others are metallic, and they are difficult to separate from each other.

This mix is a major drawback in creating transistors from nanotubes, Malliaras said. The Cornell/DuPont team concentrated on a new, inexpensive way to eliminate the metallic tubes, preparing them for such applications as suspension in semiconducting ink for printing.

To do so, the researchers brought fluorine-based molecules into contact with the nanotubes. Through a process called cycloaddition, the fluorine molecules efficiently attacked or converted the metallic nanotubes, leaving the semiconducting tubes alone, and creating a perfect batch of solely semiconducting nanotubes.

"Our work suggests that careful control of the chemical reaction enables the complete conversion of metallic tubes without the degradation of semiconducting tubes," Blanchet said.

The work should lead to exploration of a wide range of devices, such as novel organic photovoltaic structures, Malliaras added.

For the past several years, scientists from Cornell and DuPont have worked together on a variety of projects involving flexible electronics. The research is funded by a grant from the U.S. Air Force for developing transistors from carbon nanotubes.
