Simone Fabiano, senior associate professor at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, has been granted SEK 23 million from the ERC to develop a new type of soft electronic device inspired by the human brain.

Researchers at LiU have developed a new method where organic semiconductors can become more conductive with the help of air as a dopant. The study is a significant step towards future sustainable organic semiconductors.

A high-efficiency steam generator for the purification and desalination of water can be built using cheap and natural materials such as cellulose. The steam generator has been developed at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, LiU.

Cellulose soaked in a carefully designed polymer mixture acts as a sensor to measure pressure, temperature and humidity – at the same time! The sensor may be highly significant in fields such as robotics, healthcare and security.

Researchers at LiU have created an artificial organic neuron that closely mimics the characteristics of biological nerve cells. This artificial neuron can stimulate natural nerves, making it a promising technology for future medical treatments.

Inspired by the behaviour of natural skin, researchers at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics have developed a sensor for use with electronic skin. It can measure changes in body temperature, and react to both sunlight and warm touch.

For the first time researchers demonstrate an artificial organic neuron, a nerve cell, that can be integrated with a living plant and an artificial organic synapse. The neuron and the synapse are made from printed organic electrochemical transistors.

A research group led by Simone Fabiano at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, has created an organic material with superb conductivity that doesn’t need to be doped. They have achieved this by mixing two polymers with different properties.

Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have developed a stable high-conductivity polymer ink. The advance paves the way for innovative printed electronics with high energy efficiency. The results have been published in Nature Communications.

Scientists at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics have developed an ultra-sensitive heat sensor that is flexible, transparent and printable. The results have potential for a wide range of applications – from wound healing to smart buildings.
