August 31, 2010... Researchers from Tel Aviv University’s Department of Electrical Engineering have developed self-assembled peptide nanotubes which they hope will “green” the optics and electronics industry, according to an article in ScienceBlog.com. Researchers Nadav Amdursky and Prof. Gil Rosenman of Tel Aviv University’s Department of Electrical Engineering say their technology could make flat screen TV production green and can even make medical equipment such as subcutaneous ultrasound devices more sensitive.

The technology is reportedly inspired by a biomaterial involved in Alzheimer’s disease research discovered by Prof. Ehud Gazit of the university’s Department of Microbiology and Biotechnology. The scientists from the Electrical Engineering Department developed a new nano-material, applying the scientific disciplines of both biology and physics. This biological material is the basis for their new, environmentally-friendly variety of OLEDs which might someday be used in consumer and medical electronics.
