The article elaborates on the finding made by Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) researchers on the new technique of creating what is basically a form of plastic-based electronics. It provides information on why the new technology is needed and how it can be employed for instruments and tools made out of plastic. It discusses how the researchers used bilayer gate insulators using dielectric material made of CYTOP and partnered it with top-gate field-effect transistor structures made of natural material.
