Scientists at UC Riverside Have Developed New Screen Technology

A team of scientists at the University of California-Riverside announced on Monday that they have developed new particle that one day might be developed into a new sunlight friendly screen.

These particles are made from iron oxide and silicon dioxide molecules, and they are formed into microscopic strings, or “nanorods”. These nanorods, when packed into a screen, should one day be usable as an alternative to E-ink and other epaper screens.

At this point, however, the nanorods don’t hold position position without a magnetic field, so they won’t be as energy efficient as existing epaper options.
