B1.00001: Physics Teacher Education - Problems and Solutions Invited Speaker: The problems associated with obtaining a sufficient quantity of high school physics teachers are well know. What is not so well known are the approaches that can be used to increase the number of physics teacher education majors, how to best prepare them, and how to retain them in the classroom. The speaker will talk about several approaches from Illinois that appear to be addressing that state's needs. [Preview Abstract] |

B1.00002: Materials and Processes for Flexible Electronics Invited Speaker: High speed, high performance computation will continue to be dominated by silicon-based microelectronics for the foreseeable future. However, there are many applications that would benefit from the development of large area, distributed electronic systems, especially if the systems were rugged, flexible, and inexpensive per square foot, even if individual device performance was relatively low. Our group recently demonstrated organic semiconductor based, photolithographically defined rectifiers operating at 14 MHz, depletion load inverters with a gain of $>$20, and hybrid flexible CMOS. I will present results on substrates, materials and devices that are compatible with low temperature, flexible substrates, with specific applications for electronic textiles, flexible displays and CMOS. This work is supported in part by the Army Research Labs, DOE, Texas Instruments and Military Tech, LLC. [Preview Abstract] |
