Kirigami Inspired Sensors Conform to the Body

Nov-01-19 Kirigami-inspired sensors that can conform to the wearer’s body offer a resilient design for wearable sensors.

The sensors were designed by the team from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who applied kirigami architecture to thin sheets of graphene. In the new design, the sensors are embedded in the 'islands' between the 'bridges,' allowing them to maintain contact with the skin without losing signal. The design also helps reduce unwanted signal outputs generated by motion.
