  • A low-power light image projected on a photoconductive layer can initiate non-uniform electric fields over a large area, and allow the manipulation and sorting of particles without wires and electrodes and in the absence of flow.

  • Progress in all-organic electronic circuits has been hampered by the intrinsic low speed of organic devices. The fabrication of a fast organic rectifying diode opens the gate to novel applications.
