Schematic comparison of different electrode structures under strain. Traditional wavy structures suffer from stress concentration and long-term instability, while microcrack-based electrodes risk ...

Some electronics can bend, twist and stretch in wearable displays, biomedical applications and soft robots. While these devices' circuits have become increasingly pliable, the batteries and ...

Researchers have made a light-emitting diode that remains brightly lit while they repeatedly stretch it (ACS Nano 2014; DOI: 10.1021/nn405887k). Such elastic light emitters could enable new types of ...

Flexible electrodes have applications in things like health and wellness sensors or flexible tablets. These applications usually require the material to bend, but other applications may depend on the ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California are working on a development aimed at discouraging the degradation of lithium-ion batteries’ structural integrity, which is one of the reasons that ...

Panasonic has developed a soft, flexible, and stretchable polymer resin insulating film which stretches 2.5x its length and returns to its original shape. It can be folded and adapts adapts to varying ...
