Researchers from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed heat-shrinkable polymers that can be used to laminate organic photovoltaic devices onto curved surfaces. They said ...
Homeowners can be hesitant about the possibility of tiling curved surfaces, especially for the shower. However, adding tiles is not just a matter of aesthetics; it also increases the ease of ...
Two key design takeaways from MHN’s 2014 Excellence Awards judging were ‘wood is good’ and that muted color palettes with texture can really make a space more interesting. Two key design takeaways ...
Recent studies have indicated that curved solar-cell panels capture sunlight more efficiently than flat ones on cloudy days. One way to produce curved electronics is with rubber-like substrates, but ...
A new technique that allows curved surfaces to appear flat to electromagnetic waves has been developed. The discovery could hail a step-change in how antennas are tailored to each platform, which ...
Heat-shrinkable technology developed by an all-RIKEN team could allow solar cells and touch sensors to be attached to objects whose shapes make them challenging to laminate 1. Recent studies have ...
