A laser-programmed strategy to engineer the local stiffness and interfacial properties of textiles enables the direct assembly of standard electronic components onto textiles to create stretchable ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Flexible electronics have emerged as a transformative technology, promising to revolutionize how we interact with devices and integrate them into our daily lives. The ability to ...

Researchers from the Stanford Center for AEroSpace Autonomy Research (CAESAR) in the robotic testbed, which can simulate the movements of autonomous spacecraft. Small wearable or implantable ...

The breakthrough is based on a class of materials known as MXenes: ultrathin, highly conductive sheets that combine the mechanical resilience of metals with the flexibility ...

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, ...

Electronic devices that can be attached to the skin or even implanted in the body will become more and more prevalent in near-future technology. Such "implantable bioelectronics" are envisaged as ...

Soft electronics are increasingly in demand for diverse applications, but they lack rigid enclosures and are therefore susceptible to premature disposal after electronic applications. It is therefore ...
