By rolling these types of electronics out onto the market, the possibility for stretchable electronics and even smart packaging could become commonplace.

These days, most electronic circuitry comes in the form of rigid chips, but devices thin and flexible enough to be rolled up like a newspaper are fast approaching. Already, “smart” credit ...

This technology will serve as a basis for the future large-scale production of stretchable electronics, which can consist of wearables, smart packaging or soft electronics and everywhere in between.

While the field of stretchable electronics does hold a lot of promise, joining the components of such devices together can be tricky. A new connector is designed to help, as it stretches between ...

These stretchable electronic components will form the basis of new products across a series of industries. In some cases, these products will be novel, as stretchability enables electronics to go ...

Some of the latest stretchable electronics are bringing the Internet of Things to health and safety products, and enabling a whole new world of medical and health monitoring, and not just for ...

Scientists have developed a fluid, stretchable battery ideal for wearable electronics, offering flexibility and future-proof power for health tech and more.

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics ...

In what may be either the most discreet or the most conspicuous of wearable electronics, a team of researchers led by Desheng Kong has developed a prototype stretchable stopwatch sticker that can ...

The roll-to-roll (R2R) process is being used to create a more up-to-date way of making elastic substrates for stretchable electronic devices.
