(marvy. yet another potential source for #PTFE contamination in a new 'stretchable fabric'?)
"…researchers in 2D semiconductors tend not to engage with #ionomer chemistry, UCLA's energy and 2D optoelectronics subgroup constantly exchange ideas about materials processing.
That overlap sparked the idea of combining two "common" materials from different worlds—#Nafion and MoS2—and the unexpected synergy made the breakthrough possible."
Stretchable light-emitting material holds promise for photon-based devices
A research team led by the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, or CNSI, demonstrated a new type of light-emitting material expected to be suitable for photonics—devices based on light in the same way that today's electronics are based on electrical signals.
