Research from the University of St Andrews has set a new benchmark for the precision with which researchers can explore ...

"While we've been able to create stretchable electronics and actuators that are soft and conformal, they often don't mimic biology in their ability to respond to damage and then initiate self-repair." ...

Abstract: Liquid metals (LM), such as Galinstan (an alloy of GaInSn), make an excellent conductor with high conductivity and freedom of movement in stretchable electronics (SE). However, the combined ...

“A key advantage of 3D printing is its ability to operate at room temperature, making it compatible with soft, stretchable ... electronic systems,” Despite the benefits of 3D printing, liquid ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a bubble printing method that enables high-precision patterning of liquid metal wiring for flexible ... which are unsuitable for flexible electronics that need to ...

This micropatterned circuit board is made of liquid metal and fiber mats. "The system combines high-density inorganic electronic components with organic stretchable fibrous substrates using ...

In a recent paper published in npj Flexible Electronics ... like gold (Au), are naturally less stretchable, which significantly limits their ability to deform. The research team chose gallium-indium ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Gallium-based liquid metal composites hold promise for stretchable electronics, soft robotics and biointegrated devices that can bend and conform like plastic. Their moldability ...

Storage systems are critical parts of electronic devices ... using a gallium-based liquid metal (GLM) to write and read data. This new liquid metal RAM, which can withstand nearly any deformation ...

When a low voltage is applied to the liquid metal droplets, which are encapsulated in a stretchable biopolymer called Ecoflex, they oxidize to represent the state of "1" or "on." Conversely ...

New highly conductive material can stretch ... The liquid metal circuitry using BiLiSC allows these devices to withstand large deformation and even self-heal to ensure electronic and functional ...
