Although we’re hearing more and more about stretchable electronics, the fabrication of such devices’ components is far beyond most people’s abilities. Now, however, scientists have created inks that let anyone draw stretchable LEDS onto various surface… Continue reading High-tech inks let anyone draw stretchable LEDs with a ballpoint pen
Researchers have developed a mobile, noninvasive, ultrathin, stretchable, battery-operated electronic tattoo that simultaneously measures the heart’s electrical and mechanical activity, offering a new method of diagnosing and monitoring heart disease.C… Continue reading New mobile e-tattoo better monitors heart, can help prevent heart disease
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 the components, plus it links them to one another in a ma… Continue reading BIND connector keeps the “stretch” in stretchable electronic devices
A team of researchers has developed a new material that’s not only elastic, but is impervious to gases and liquids – something that this kind of material is usually bad at. The material could be useful for making flexible batteries or wearable electron… Continue reading Liquid-metal-based material forms airtight seal for flexible electronics
Foldable, rollable and bendable displays are beginning to appear in electronics, but now we’ve had a glimpse at a new take on the idea. LG Display has unveiled the first high-definition display that can be stretched, twisted and folded during use.Conti… Continue reading LG Display shows off stretchable, high-definition display
Although we do keep hearing about flexible wearable electronics, most such devices are still powered by rigid batteries that regularly need to be recharged. An experimental new battery, however, is soft, stretchable, and powered by human sweat.Continue… Continue reading Wearable battery is flexible, stretchable and sweat-powered
Although we do keep hearing about flexible wearable electronics, most such devices are still powered by rigid batteries that regularly need to be recharged. An experimental new battery, however, is soft, stretchable, and powered by human sweat.Continue… Continue reading Wearable battery is flexible, stretchable and sweat-powered
Although they’re malleable and adaptable, soft robots and flexible electronics also aren’t as protected as their rigid-shelled counterparts, so they’re more likely to get ripped or punctured. A new stretchable, self-healing conductive material was desi… Continue reading Self-healing electronic material withstands stretching and jabbing
Researchers from the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology have developed a wearable health-monitoring system that’s attached to a user’s wrist, and can stretch by as much as 30 percent without adversely affecting display or monitoring performance.C… Continue reading Samsung develops stretchable OLED health-monitoring wearable
Although some tantalizing research is currently underway, we’re still waiting to see stretchable electronic displays actually reach production. Well, scientists have now created one that can not only be stretched, but that also self-heals when damaged…. Continue reading Stretchable material emits light and heals itself
