An international team of researchers (China, UK, Saudi Arabia) has developed a technology that delivers high-performance electronic circuits based on thin-film transistors which are ‘ambipolar’ in deep subthreshold region. The ‘deep-subthreshold ambipolar’ refers to unprecedented ultra-low operating voltages and power consumption levels. They created printed electronics that meet the power and voltage requirements of real-world applications and opened opportunities for remote sensing and ‘place-and-forget’ devices that can operate without batteries for their entire lifetime. The ultra-low-power printed electronics are simple and cost-effective to manufacture. It can be scaled up to make inexpensive battery-less devices that could harvest energy from the environment, such as sunlight or omnipresent ambient electromagnetic waves, like those created by our mobile phones and Wi-Fi stations…read more.
