Oxford researchers may have discovered a way to make flexible video displays thin enough to replace errant human retinas.
A team led by Harish Bhaskaran of Oxford University’s Department of Materials unearthed a method to “sandwich” a 7-nanometer layer alloy containing germanium, antimony and tellurium (GST) between “two layers of a transparent electrode.” By switching electric current on and off, the team could “draw” images on to the GST stack.
