In the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, A novel conductive hydrogel, termed AirCell Hydrogel and developed by Tianjin University researchers, exhibits an ultra-high sensitivity of 18.9. Its smooth surface enables conformal adhesion that effectively suppresses motion artifacts, while its porous interior structure lowers the Young's modulus during deformation tracking.

A new review in International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing highlights the rapid progress in turning metallic materials into flexible electrodes (FEs) and, ultimately, soft epidermal electrodes (SEEs). Unlike the rigid metal pads traditionally used in medical monitoring, SEEs are engineered to mimic the softness and stretchability of skin itself. They conform like a second layer of tissue, remaining comfortable even during long wear and delivering stable, high-quality signals.

Could tiny magnetic objects, that rapidly clump together and instantly fall apart again, one day perform delicate procedures inside the human body? A new study from researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, and at ETH Zurich introduces a wireless method to stiffen and relax small structures using magnetic fields, without wires, pumps, or physical contact.
