Research at TUM "With carbon nanotubes, a path to flexible, low-cost sensors"

How industrial-scale manufacturing of electronic devices, gas sensors, solar cells, flexible transistors pressure and temperature sensors, are all based on carbon nano-tube

New Paper:

With carbon nanotubes, a path to flexible, low-cost sensors
Potential applications range from air-quality monitors to electronic skin


Researchers at the Technische Universität München (TUM) are showing the way toward low-cost, industrial-scale manufacturing of a new family of electronic devices.
