Wearable bioelectronic device capable of tracking multiple vital signs developed

Control Engineering

Made from a liquid-metal elastomer composite, the material’s key feature is its skin-like soft properties. “It It is ultrasoft and ultra-stretchable, so when the device is worn on the human body, it will be mechanically imperceptible to the user,” Yan said.

Method developed to make semiconductors smart, compact

Control Engineering

“It’s not practical yet, but we want to take the underlying mechanism and make it scalable and something attractive to the semiconductor industry,” said Maschmann, an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Aligning patterns between processing steps makes the manufacturing process especially complex.
