Method Produces Liquid-Based LEDs

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 15, 2011 — A new liquid processing method that can control the shapes of nanowires and produce complete electronic devices has been developed at MIT. The technique, called hydrothermal synthesis, works by producing a functional LED array made of zinc oxide nanowires in a microfluidic channel. Researchers use a syringe to push solution through a capillary tube one-tenth of a millimeter wide, without expensive semiconductor manufacturing processes or facilities. They said they were able to do this on a lab bench under relatively benign conditions. Unlike larger structures, nanomaterials...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
