Liquid Metal-Based Flexible Electronics

Feb-29-16 A new technique for making flexible electronics able stretch four times their length could open the door to a new generation of wearables and medical devices.

Created by the team at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, the prototype thin film electronics were developed by using liquid metal consisting of a gold/gallium alloy to make very thin wires. Mere nanometers wide, these wires are able to bend and flex without breakage or damage, and can connect different components embedded in a larger device.
