2 Photos of Flexible Circuits

Caption

These are two photos of flexible circuits created using carbon nanotubes in research at Purdue University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The researchers have overcome a major obstacle in producing transistors from networks of carbon nanotubes, a technology that could make it possible to print circuits on plastic sheets for applications including flexible displays and an electronic skin to cover an entire aircraft to monitor crack formation.
