UK’s Anthony, Risko Receive NSF Special Creativity Award

Next-Gen Conductive Materials, University of Kentucky / By

By David Melanson, UK CAER Organic semiconductors, often referred to as plastic electronics, offer key advantages for emerging electronic and communication devices, provided they can meet all the appropriate metrics for performance, stability and cost. While these materials are already widely used in display technologies — the organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) used as the displays in …
