Thomas Burridge, a disciple of the school of Surrey, was the “author” of the opening, having the opportunity to lead to the creation of entirely new types of displays, sensors, and even clothing.
His scientific works carried out during the summer practice, can play an impressive role in the future development of flexible electronic devices. This became known correspondents section “News of Science and Technology” magazine for traders and investors «Market Leader».
It is a field of MIS transistor, which are considered more easily and economically than traditional. They are used in systems that control the brightness and color monitors electronic devices.
The field of MOS transistors have long been known, but the extent of their use has been limited because it was believed that these transistors has a significant drawback: they are able to easily overheat and be so unreliable in chips.
However, according to a study made public by Thomas and his research manager in the publication Scientific Reports, show that these defects are fairly easy to handle.
18-year-old Thomas Burridge was an intern at the University of Surrey last summer with the help of the charity program SATRO.
Thomas was able to model your own computer the behavior of these transistors in various modes and determined that a simple change in their geometry will allow to completely solve the issue self-heating.
«When you set a student job, you never told him that this question no one had ever asked. They do not understand that are addressing problematic issues at the forefront of science, and thus, achieve the resonance of the results, “- says Dr. Radu Sporea, who was the supervisor of Burridge.
According to Dr. Sporea, the possibility of such transistors have no boundaries, since they can be printed like paper, and they cost very cheap.
«I wanted to understand what scientific research. All this has been spent at least a month. It is strange how much you can learn in a short period of time. At first I had doubts that I could find something innovative, but more work has gone better, “- says Thomas.
This year, Thomas Burridge had planned to begin studying at the Faculty of Engineering at Cambridge University.
In addition, researchers from the University of Central Florida have developed a completely bendable color electronic display. Scientists say they were inspired by the skin of a chameleon, able to instantly change the color.
According to the creators, the technology can be used to create both an army camouflage and ordinary clothes that can instantly change the color. In addition, with the help of the invention will be to create a device for reading electronic books with low energy consumption.
