TL;DR: This work describes stretchable interconnects made of stripes of thin gold film patterned on elastomeric membranes, and makes the first elastic circuit, an inverter of thin film transistors that remains functional when stretched and relaxed by 12% strain.

TL;DR: This work shows real-time (response time of ∼20 ms), large-area, normal pressure monitoring under different, complex bending conditions, and test the suitability of the sensor for soft robotics and medical applications.

TL;DR: Embedding functional components into soft robotic tentacles that move in three dimensions upon pressurization (for example, a needle for delivering fluid, a video camera, and a suction cup) extends their capabilities.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D macroporous nanoelectronic scaffolds (nanoES) was used for 3D culture of neurons, cardiomyocytes and smooth muscle cells.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the syringe injection of sub-micrometre-thick, centimetre-scale macroporous mesh electronics through needles with a diameter as small as 100 μm, and demonstrates several applications of syringe-injectable electronics as a general approach for interpenetrating flexible electronics with three-dimensional structures.
