AFRL, American Semiconductor create flexible system-on-chip for ‘internet-of-things’
A collaboration between the Air Force Research Laboratory and American Semiconductor has produced a flexible silicon-on-polymer chip with more than 7,000 times the memory capability of any current flexible integrated circuit on the market today. The manufacturing takes advantage of flexible hybrid electronics, integrating traditional manufacturing techniques with 3D electronic printing to create thin, flexible semiconductors that can augment efforts in wearable technology, asset monitoring, logistics and more.

Researchers turn to liquid metals for agile electronics
The oxide skin on gallium-based liquid metals, shown here in suspension, give the materials the ability to hold a shape and to be reconfigured into new shapes that can maintain electrical conductivity. Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory have demonstrated the capacity for liquid metal alloys to be flowed through embedded material channels to create physically reconfigurable antennas and electronic circuits.

Researchers turn to liquid metals for agile electronics
Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory are using the unique characteristic of liquid metal alloys to explore new ways to wire electronic systems. The unique properties of liquid metal alloys enable droplets to stack upon one another, unlike traditional liquids which flow into a singular shape. (Air Force courtesy photo)
