Why advanced TEM is set to supercharge materials research

Penn State researchers developed a new soft and stretchable material that can be 3D-printed. The material can be used to fabricate wearable devices, such a sensor that can be worn on a finger

Soft and stretchable material shows multi-role potential

Soft, stretchable electrode recreates sensations of vibration or pressure on the skin through electrical stimulation

Stretchable electrode recreates sensations on skin

Other methods to bind skin tissue to solid structures come with limitations. This new method can work on complex, curved, and even moving surfaces
