LONDON (Reuters) - Canadian researchers have created a responsive, flexible material that can be used in the manufacture of electronic screens, which could allow a user to fold his mobile phone or tablet when he does not need it. Researchers at the University of British Columbia in Canada said the new material allows the manufacture of devices To measure body biomaterials can be worn like artificial skin, and published the results of their research in the journal "Science Advances"Scientists have been devising flexible electronic screens for years, seeking to invent collapsible mobile phones or collapsible television screens such as newspaper pages, but researchers have indicated that their new material is the first material of its kind to touch and flex. Developed by Eng. Mirza Sakib Sawar and his team at British Columbia University, is a high-power, high-power gel that connects many layers of silicon, allowing multiple touch functions on a single screen."The new material contains sensor units that can monitor pressure like 3D Touch on iPhone phones and can detect finger movements on their surfaces, such as AirView technology on Samsung phones," Sawar said. On transient, transparent and extendable sensors, and the contribution of the research team to a device that contains all these characteristics in a single package. "In the new screen experiment, researchers used negative hydrogel electrodes installed in layers of silicon that create an electric field around the sensor unit. The researchers tested a prototype of flexible 5-cm screens at 5 centimeters. The fingers are moving over the screen by several centimeters, which is a kind of touch virtual. Although the prototype of the screen was small, but the research team says that the manufacture of larger sensor units for larger screens will be easy and inexpensive also. It is possible to manufacture sensor units to cover room space at a cost of not more than several dollars per meter. These sensor units can then be installed on the wall or the floor or on the surface of any object requiring a flexible, transparent, touch screen.
