stretchable

"Because while we understand what makes them hard and stretchable, we can only speculate about what makes them so sticky."

The team optimized the actuator structure to allow both expansion and contraction, combining it with CLCEs, and developed a highly adaptable stretchable device.

The rest of the layers consist of stretchable electrodes.

"As wearables continue to evolve and influence the way society interacts with technology, particularly in the context of medical technology, the design and development of highly efficient stretchable electronics become critical for stable wireless connectivity."

The researchers also installed a thin stretchable heater made of silver nanowire network along each fold.
