CORAL GABLES, Fla., Jan. 22, 2009 – A new design for stretchable electronics that could be used to improve eye cameras, smart surgical gloves, body parts, airplane wings, back planes for liquid crystal displays and biomedical devices has been unveiled. Jizhou Song, a professor in the University of Miami’s College of Engineering and his collaborators John Rogers, professor at the University of Illinois and Yonggang Huang, professor at Northwestern University have developed the new design that can be wrapped around complex shapes, without a reduction in electronic function.An optical image of a freely deformed stretchable...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.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
