Stretchable Electronics Report How You Feel
Uppsala University researcher Zhigang Wu has collaborated with a team from Laird Technologies to develop a wireless microfluidic stretchable radio frequency electronics sensor.
The researchers designed the sensor to conduct wireless measurements, while being repeatedly bent across a large area or movable parts. The wireless sensor consists of a multifunctional antenna integrated with a conventional rigid circuitboard. The device measures intensive body movements and wirelessly sends information directly to a computer.
The researchers say the wireless sensor could lead to the development of several applications that have only been seen on the movie screen, such as robots made from liquid metal that were depicted in the Terminator movies.
