Applied Physics Reviews

Scientists at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in Korea have fabricated a flexible material that lights up brightly when stretched and/or when an electric field is applied. The results were published in the journal Applied Physics Reviews and show promise for the development of bright, sustainable, stretchable devices for use, for example, as interactive skin displays and in soft robotics.

Tohoku University’s Center for Innovative Integrated Electronic Systems, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge has published a study that uses hexagonal boron nitride as a tunnel barrier for ferromagnetic tunnel junctions.
