TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a platform that makes electronics both virtually unbreakable and imperceptible on polyimide polysilicon elastomers, which can be operated at high temperatures and in aqueous environments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a chromium oxide-chromium interlayer was introduced to protect the metal top contacts from reactions with the perovskite, and the use of a transparent polymer electrode treated with dimethylsulphoxide as the bottom layer allowed the deposition from solution at low temperature-of pinhole-free perovsite films at high yield on arbitrary substrates including thin plastic foils.

TL;DR: Tough hydrogels strongly attach, within seconds, to plastics, elastomers, leather, bone, and metals, reaching unprecedented interfacial toughness exceeding 2000 J/m2, and Healing of severed ionic hydrogel conductors becomes feasible and restores function instantly.

TL;DR: This biogel is a step towards durable, life-like soft robotic and electronic systems that are sustainable and closely mimic their natural antetypes, whose mechanical properties can be adapted to a broad range of applications in soft robotics and wearable electronics.

TL;DR: Bifunctional electronic skins equipped with a compliant magnetic microelectromechanical system able to transduce both tactile—via mechanical pressure—and touchless—via magnetic fields—stimulations simultaneously are realized.
