The synaptic transistor is reconfigurable, meaning it can be twisted and bent, yet still remain functional, as researchers Cunjiang Yu (left), Dorothy Quiggle Career Development Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM), and ESM graduate student Hyunseok Shim demonstrate in this photo. Conventional transistors, on the other hand, are rigid and can break after being bent. Courtesy: Kelby Hochreither/Penn State.
