Single-crystal semiconductor nanoribbons in stretchable geometric configurations are reportedly under development for flexible electronic structures by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Ill., and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The team of researchers has been successful in fabricating thin ribbons of silicon and designing them to bend, stretch, and compress like an accordion without losing their ability to function. These flexible structures could serve as sensors and as electronic devices that can be integrated into ...
