Tim naucnika kompanije "Merck Chemicals" iz Britanije napravio je varijantu ultra tanke plastike koja provodi struju i 6 puta brze od do sada poznatih polimera i silikonskih provodnika. Nov materijal ce uskoro moci da se koristi za proizvodnju novih tipova monitora, ali i za identifikacione cipove koji se koriste za pracenje robe u skladistima, ili pojedinih grla u krdima stoke...

New Ultra-thin Plastic Could Replace Silicon
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Researchers have developed an ultra-thin plastic that allows an electrical charge to pass through it at speeds never before seen, a discovery that could dramatically drive down the cost of flat-panel monitors and other devices.
The plastic, which resembles cellophane when applied to electronic components, could one day replace the chemicals used to manufacture monitors and so-called radio frequency identification chips, which are used to keep track of store inventories, fleets of trucks and herds of cattle.
Researchers have long searched for alternatives to the silicon-based material used in today's devices. The plastic material, known as liquid-crystalline polymers, have been viewed as a key contender, but until now electrical charges haven't been able to travel through it at speeds required by electronic devices.
