UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — There’s a barrier preventing the advent of truly elastic electronic systems, the kind needed for advanced human-machine interfaces, artificial skins, smart health care ...

When you think of a battery, you probably don't think of stretchy material. But batteries will need this shape-shifting quality to be incorporated into flexible electronics, which are gaining ...

Researchers created a stretchy battery that can take any shape. It could power next-generation wearables and other small tech ...

This breakthrough in battery power could bring wearable tech, implanted medical devices, and humanoid robots to life.

"Polymer-based electronics are very promising," said Di ... They used that mixture to make stretchy films and then tested the mechanical properties. Lo and behold, the films behaved very much ...

Zapping liquid metal droplets with ultrasound offers a new way to make wiring for stretchy, bendy electronics. The technique, described in the Nov. 11 Science, adds a new approach to the toolbox ...

Here at the Soft and Printed Microelectronics (SPM) laboratory, in Coimbra, Portugal, we’re working on a new generation of electronics as flexible as human skin. These devices are made of ...

But improving their electronic properties typically comes at a cost: the more crystalline a polymer is, the higher its electrical conductivity—and the less it will stretch. Bao and her team ...

When you think of a battery, you probably don’t think stretchy. But batteries will need this shape-shifting quality to be incorporated into flexible electronics, which are gaining traction for ...
