?Rubber-Band Electronics? can stretch to 200 percent their original size
In the quest to develop implantable electronics to monitor the human body from within, flexibility and stretchability have been major hurdles. We?ve seen numerous developments including stretchable LED arrays, an implantable device for measuring the heart?s electrical output, and an electrode array that melts onto the surface of the brain. Now researchers have developed technology that combines a porous polymer and liquid metal that allows electronics to bend and stretch to more than 200 percent their original size...
