Description

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin’s Laura Leay interviews Nitin Padture, who is the Otis E. Randall University Professor and the founding Director of the Initiative for Sustainable Energy at Brown University, about his group’s work uncovering the cracks in a substrate that was coated with a transparent-conducting oxide thin film. This cracking, they discovered, contributes toward the degradation in the electronic properties of devices. The group’s next step was to mitigate the cracking. This work was published in a recent issue of NPJ Flexible Electronics.
