Foldable and Adaptive Two-Dimensional Electronics

Abstract

Engineer folding of van-der-Waals materials and devices into flexible and conformal structures to enable mimicking of nature in its ability to use adaptable features and develop complex systems. Control folding of 2D materials to obtain antennas with unprecedented tunability. Build nano and microscopic 3D structures for advanced metamaterials, as well as flexible electronic systems with unprecedented robustness in the face of mechanical accelerations, deformations and vibration. Enable a new paradigm for the fabrication of the next generation of electronics systems, mimicking the complexity of biological cells to enable nanoscale electronic and photonic systems with functionalities impossible in planar systems.
