"Unlike traditional materials silicon- or silica-based, and stiff, heavy and brittle...future electronics soft and organic... lightweight, resilient to damage, efficient in performance, and added mechanical flexibility and ability operate sustainably, minimal consumption energy. The results of this study have demonstrated, for the first time, that certain organic crystalline materials meet the needs of these technologies, and can be used in applications such as soft robotics, artificial muscles, organic optics, and organic electronics"
