When aiming for stretchable, health-monitoring, skin-like sensor sheets, materials with demanding properties are required: they need to be flexible, biocompatible, and electrically conductive at the ...

Stretchable fiber-optic sensors use light and color to detect deformation and force Rubber-based system should be impervious to electromagnetic forces and moisture by Bethany Halford ...

Stretchable supercapacitors, the researchers explain, could power some futuristic devices on their own, or they could be combined with other components to overcome engineering challenges.

A stretchable micro-LED meta-display with a display resolution of 25 PPI. (Adapted with permission from Wiley-VCH Verlag) The authors conclude by noting that the design and fabrication technologies ...

The earlier stretchable sensor was created in 2016 and used light sent through an optical waveguide and a photodiode to detect changes in the beam's intensity to determine when the material deformed.

A team of Stanford University scientists has created an innovative stretchable sensor for real-time monitoring of neurotransmitter molecules in the brain and gut. The sensor, dubbed NeuroString, paves ...

Stretchable Inorganic LEDs Stretchable Inorganic LEDs Inorganic light-emitting diodes and photodetectors represent important, established technologies for solid-state lighting, digital imaging and ...

Skin tight: a stretchable transistor on the skin of a hand. (Courtesy: Jie Xu, Sihong Wang) A polymer transistor that retains its electrical properties when stretched repeatedly has been developed by ...

Computers can now knit together circuits (seriously!), potentially leading to electronic fabrics that are stretchable, permeable, durable, and washable. The researchers behind the study suggest ...
