Spray printed crystals to move forward organic electronic applications Date: November 22, 2016 Source: University of Surrey Summary: New technology could revolutionize printed electronics by ...

Minerals are generally inorganic, naturally occurring solids (though we humans have had a stab at creating our own in the lab) that have a specific chemical composition and atomic structure.

New technology could revolutionize printed electronics by enabling high quality semiconducting molecular crystals to be directly spray-deposited on any surface. University of Surrey and National ...

These simulations revealed an original structure with small internal tunnels that had never been seen before. This new crystal form, called "Zangenite", could be used to create innovative materials.

“Investigations of crystal structures are an important field of science as evidenced by 15 Nobel prizes awarded for research on crystals,” he said. Measuring those structures is routinely possible ...

More than 4,000 naturally occurring minerals—inorganic solids that have a characteristic chemical composition and specific crystal structure—have been found on Earth. They are formed of simple ...

With crystals the size of around 100 nanometers, which is similar to one eight-hundredth of a human hair, automated diffraction tomography is often the only way by which the structure can be fully ...

A team of researchers from the University of Surrey and National Physical Laboratory is said to have demonstrated a low cost, scalable spray-printing process to make high quality isolated organic ...

Single crystal semiconductors, such as silicon, have been at the forefront of scientific interest for more than 70 years, serving as the backbone of electronic devices.
