New chemistry enables using existing technology to print stretchable, bendable circuits on artificial skin | Tech Xplore JULY 5, 2021 / Engineering, Electronics & Semiconductors
by Andrew Myers, Stanford University
Opening Lines: “Chemical engineer Zhenan Bao and her team of researchers at Stanford have spent nearly two decades trying to develop skin-like integrated circuits that can be stretched, folded, bent and twisted—working all the while—and then snap back without fail, every time.
