Organic Semiconductor May Pave the Way for Paintable Electronics | Inhabitat

Quote:

Ever think about how amazing it would be if tech as complex as solar cells could be simply sprayed onto a surface? A group of researchers found that a common organic semiconductor may make that situation a reality. Scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently determined that poly(3-hexylthiopene), or P3HT, may be a useful material for creating spray-on transistors. Once the tech is optimized, we could see electronics like solar cells and displays that can be sprayed onto a surface just like paint.

imagine that. you could just paint your house and it's one big solar panel.

this and nanotech

WAY OF THE FUTURE

can't wait

every time i think about nano technology, i think of a cloud of micro-bots floating around eating flesh, turning people into skeletons.

We had a postdoc that was working with this stuff in our lab. I work with P3HT but more on the thin film transistor/organic electronics side.
