World-first ultrasound levitation that bends around barriers

UK researchers have become the first in the world to develop technology which can bend sound waves around an obstacle and levitate an object above it.

Optically Rewritable LCD Could Enable Flexible Displays

Engineers have manufactured a flexible, optically rewritable liquid crystal display that is about as thin as a piece of paper. The flexible display technology could be a breakthrough in printed media.

Light-emitting device opens the possibility for 'invisible' displays

Engineers have built a bright - light emitting device that is fully transparent when turned off. The light emitting material in this device is a monolayer semiconductor, which is just three atoms thick.

Japanese researchers develop ultrathin, highly elastic skin display
