Nature Awards honor Alexandra Paterson for flexible semiconductor research
The Nature Awards for Inspiring Women in Science recognized Alexandra Paterson from the University of Kentucky for her work on plastic mixed conductors.
Scientific Achievement Award Winner
Alexandra Paterson, a materials physicist at the University of Kentucky, received the Scientific Achievement award. She is originally from the United Kingdom and focuses on developing semiconductors from flexible polymer-based materials. Her research addresses stability issues that previously prevented these conductors from performing reliably.
Potential Technology Applications
These plastic mixed conductors can be manufactured using low-cost printing methods. They have potential uses in cardiovascular sensors and low-energy computing technologies. Unlike conventional semiconductors, the new materials are mechanically flexible.
