It's a clear, colorless disk about 5 inches in diameter that bends and twists like a playing card, with a lattice of more than 20,000 nanotube transistors capable of high-performance electronics printed upon it using a potentially inexpensive low-temperature process. Its creators believe the prototype points the way to such long sought after applications as car windshields that display vehicle information. It could also be used to create cheap, ultra thin, low-power "e-paper" display. (source: viterbicms.usc.edu)
