IEEE Spectrum shares how biomedical engineers at Tsinghua University created the FlexRAM with a gallium-based liquid metal.
While organic thin-film transistors built on flexible plastic have been around long enough for people to start discussing a Moore’s Law for bendable ICs, memory devices for these flexible electronics have been a bit more elusive. Now researchers from Tsinghua University, in Beijing, have developed a fully flexible resistive random-access-memory device, dubbed FlexRAM, that offers another approach: a liquid one.
