Humans rely increasingly on sensors to address grand challenges and to improve quality of
life in the era of digitalization and big data. For ubiquitous sensing, flexible sensors are …

In conventional classification, soft robots feature mechanical compliance as the main
distinguishing factor from traditional robots made of rigid materials. Recent advances in …

Serious climate changes and energy-related environmental problems are currently critical
issues in the world. In order to reduce carbon emissions and save our environment …

An elastic printed circuit board (E-PCB) is a conductive framework used for the facile
assembly of system-level stretchable electronics. E-PCBs require elastic conductors that …

Snap‐through bistability is often observed in nature (eg, fast snapping to closure of Venus
flytrap) and the life (eg, bottle caps and hair clippers). Recently, harnessing bistability and …

For the practical use of synthetic hydrogels as artificial biological tissues, flexible electronics,
and conductive membranes, achieving requirements for specific mechanical properties is …

In complex systems like aircraft engines and oil refinery machines, pipeline inspection is an
essential task for ensuring safety. Here, we proposed a type of smart material–driven …

Artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating the development of unconventional computing
paradigms inspired by the abilities and energy efficiency of the brain. The human brain …

Neuroprosthetic hands are typically heavy (over 400 g) and expensive (more than US
$10,000), and lack the compliance and tactile feedback of human hands. Here, we report the …

Soft robotics is an emerging technology requiring conductive materials with inherently high
compliance to sense, control or actuate. Poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene …
