Although Ti3C2T x MXene sheets are highly conductive, it is still a challenge to design
highly stretchable MXene electrodes for flexible electronic devices. Inspired by the high …

Soft electronics are intensively studied as the integration of electronics with dynamic
nonplanar surfaces has become necessary. Here, a discussion of the strategies in materials …

Materials and structures with negative Poisson's ratio exhibit a counter-intuitive behaviour.
Under uniaxial compression (tension), these materials and structures contract (expand) …

Shape morphing and the possibility of having control over mechanical properties via
designed deformations have attracted a lot of attention in the materials community and led to …

The ability to significantly change the mechanical and wave propagation properties of a

Optoelectronic devices with unconventional form factors, such as flexible and stretchable
light-emitting or photoresponsive devices, are core elements for the next-generation human …

Kirigami, the Japanese art of paper cutting, has recently enabled the design of stretchable
mechanical metamaterials that can be easily realized by embedding arrays of periodic cuts …

Curvy imagers that can adjust their shape are of use in imaging applications that require low
optical aberration and tunable focusing power. Existing curvy imagers are either flexible but …
