Capabilities in health monitoring enabled by capture and quantitative chemical analysis of
sweat could complement, or potentially obviate the need for, approaches based on sporadic …

Thin, soft, skin-like sensors capable of precise, continuous measurements of physiological
health have broad potential relevance to clinical health care. Use of sensors distributed over …

Systems for time sequential capture of microliter volumes of sweat released from targeted
regions of the skin offer the potential to enable analysis of temporal variations in electrolyte …

The sensitivity of a nanoscale crack-based sensor is enhanced markedly by modulating the
crack depth. The crack-depth-propagated sensor exhibits≈ 16 000 gauge factor at 2% strain …

Continuous monitoring of blood pressure, an essential measure of health status, typically
requires complex, costly, and invasive techniques that can expose patients to risks of …

Hydrogels have diverse chemical properties and can exhibit reversibly large mechanical
deformations in response to external stimuli; these characteristics suggest that hydrogels are …

Perovskite materials hold great potential as photovoltaic power sources for portable devices
owing to their mechanical flexibility and high performance; however, the flexibility and …

This paper presents materials and core/shell architectures that provide optimized mechanical
properties in packages for stretchable electronic systems. Detailed experimental and …

During periods of activity, sweat glands produce pressures associated with osmotic effects
to drive liquid to the surface of the skin. The magnitudes of these pressures may provide …
