Revolutionizing flat display manufacturing
After years of effort building relationships with fellow researchers and industry partners, I'm proud to share that the Center for Innovation in Risk, Catastrophes, and Decisions (CIRCAD) has received $1.5 million from the National Science Foundation for the next five years. This center is truly a prime example of how our faculty are innovating not just in their respective fields, but in how they assemble partnerships to produce positive impacts for society. Congratulations to Profs. Mark Borsuk, Sara Oliver, Lydia Olander, Mercy Berman DeMenno and Francis Bouchard on the launch of this effort to protect our communities most at-risk from climate change disasters.

Electronic displays play a key role across just about every industry: think TVs, computer screens, watch faces and car displays. Nearly all of them are made overseas, and almost none of them are recycled. Prof. Aaron Franklin might have just found a solution. Working with lead author Brittany Smith and industry partner Hummink Technologies, his team has demonstrated the first fully recyclable, sub-micrometer printed transistors. The technique could impact the more than $150 billion electronic display industry and its environmental impact while providing a toehold for U.S. manufacturing to gain traction in a vital and quickly growing industry.

"Even for simpler materials, it’s not easy – but when you’ve got four, five or more elements, understanding what is driving performance degradation is very difficult."
