Imphal, February 14 2016:
An engineering research team at the University of Alberta, with State native Lhinggemkim alias Gem Shoute, a PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engi-
neering as the lead author on the article, has invented a new
transistor that could revolutionize thin-film electronic devices.
According to a statement, their findings could open the
door to the development of flexible electronic devices with
applications as wide-ranging as display technology to medical
imaging and renewable energy production.
The transistor is
easily scaled and has power-handling capabilities at least 10
times greater than commercially produced thin film transistors.
Lhinggemkim (Gem) Shoute is the daughter of Dr
Lianchinthang Shoute of Churachandpur.
The findings, published in the science journal Nature Com-
munications, could open the door to the development of flexible
electronic devices with applications as wide-ranging as display
technology to medical imaging and renewable energy production.
The team has filed a provisional patent on the transistor.
