Strain-Insensitive Pressure Sensor
A novel, stretchable pressure sensor can seamlessly adhere to soft/dynamic surfaces and maintain conformability under surface deformation. Sensing performance is unaltered at up to 50% strain, which is necessary to measure on-skin pressure quantitatively.
Flexible Light-Emitting Polymers
Intrinsically stretchable light-emitting polymers with thermally activated delayed fluorescence show stable photoluminescence and electroluminescence performance up to 100% strain – enabling fully stretchable high-performance OLED devices.
On-body AI Computation
Flexible neuromorphic devices provide all desired computational and mechanical characteristics. Testing demonstrates the promise and the possible pathway for realizing skin-like, on-body AI computation.
Connecting to Wet Tissue
For rapid and strong adhesion with wet tissue surfaces, a bioadhesive polymer semiconductor combines a newly designed bioadhesive brush polymer and a redox-active semiconducting polymer.
Ultrasoft Hydrogel Semiconductors
High porosity enhances molecular interactions at semiconductor-biofluid interfaces, resulting in photomodulation with higher response and volumetric biosensing with higher sensitivity
