UCLA scientists create stretchable material for future photonic devices

A research team at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA has developed a new stretchable material that emits bright light and could help usher in the next era of computingone powered by photons rather than electrons. Their findings, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, mark a step toward photonic technologies that are [.] The post UCLA scientists create stretchable material for future photonic devices appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.
