The rise and fall of Kodak’s moment

On a shelf in his office in Cambridge Judge Business School, Dr Kamal Munir keeps a Kodak Brownie 127. Manufactured in the 1950s, the small Bakelite camera is a powerful reminder of the rise and fall of a global brand - and of lessons other businesses would do well to learn.

Under the Microscope #7 – Stretchable electronics

In this video Dr Ingrid Graz shows us a thin layer of gold on top of rubber. Cracks in the gold allow it to stretch and we can use this for stretchable electronics.

Weaving electronics into the fabric of our physical world

The integration of electronics with materials opens up a world of possibilities, the surface of which is just being scratched. Professor Arokia Nathan has joined the University to take up a new Chair in Engineering, where he will be exploring the application of research that allows us to glimpse a world rivalling our wildest dreams of the future.

Graphene: the future in a pencil trace

The European programme for research into graphene, for which the Universities of Cambridge, Manchester and Lancaster are leading the technology roadmap, today unveiled an exhibition and new videos communicating the potential for the material that could revolutionise the electronics industries.

Graphene goes plasmonic

Researchers have discovered a crucial recipe for improving the characteristics of graphene devices for use as photodetectors in the next generation of pholtovoltaic devices for telecommunications and energy harvesting.

Pentagonal tiles pave the way towards organic electronics

New research paves way for next generation of ultra-small electronic devices.

Research lays foundation for new era of electronics

Physicists from the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory, the University of Cambridge and other institutes have successfully developed technology to enable the control and detection of spin current in a similar way to electric current.

Just press print

An academic–industrial consortium is developing the scientific know-how to underpin a printing revolution.

Polymer interconnects

The Department of Engineering and Dow Corning are working together to develop low-cost optical interconnects for high-speed data communications.

Enhancing CAPE-abilities in photonics and electronics

A unique model of industrial–academic partnership is demonstrating how UK R&D can stay ahead of the game in a rapidly moving electronics market.
