Macroelectronics
Volume 31, No. 6
Guest Editors: Robert H. Reuss, Darrel G. Hopper, and Jae-Geun Park
While the microelectronics industry strives to make the smallest possible devices in the smallest possible area, the field of “macroelectronics” addresses applications that conventional integrated circuits cannot: active control circuitry in situ, over areas of up to many square meters, for displays, solar panels, x-ray imagers, surface measurements, structural shape control, vehicle health monitoring, and other large-scale systems. Compatible materials, flexible substrates, processing conditions, and functionality provide grand challenges that are just beginning to be addressed by researchers.
Also in this issue is a special feature on biomaterials for drug delivery and tissue engineering by Robert Langer (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), recipient of the 2005 MRS Von Hippel Award. We invite you to view the introductory article for this issue, "Macroelectronics" by Robert H. Reuss, Darrel G. Hopper, and Jae-Geun Park, Guest Editors.
