Soft and stretchable sensors of strain are important for human–machine interfaces, soft robotics, electronic skins. However, generally cannot distinguish in-plane from normal stress. For example, stretching a sensor often gives similar signal to pressing the sensor. To solve this problem, liquid metal (LM)-interdigitated capacitive that is insensitive stress introduced. The contains LM-interdig...

The electrical transport through nanoscale contacts of ZnO nanowires bridging the interdigitated Au electrodes shows the negative differential resistance (NDR) effect. The NDR peaks strongly depend on the starting sweep voltage. The origin of NDR through nanoscale contacts between ZnO nanowires and metal electrodes is the electron charging and discharging of the parasitic capacitor due to the w...

We deposited transparent ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate thin films on fused silica and contacted them via Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) transparent electrodes with an interdigitated electrode (IDE) design. These layers, together with a TiO2 buffer layer on the fused silica substrate, are highly transparent (>60% in the visible optical range). Fully crystallized Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) films...

Back Cover: Article number 2100731 describes the fabrication of a micro-supercapacitor on printed circuit board. Volker Strauss, Alexander J. C. Kuehne, and co-workers develop laser-carbonization process for polyacrylonitrile films, leading to patterned, interdigitated carbon electrodes. The unexposed, non-carbonized areas film can be peeled-off fully expose carbonized electrodes an electrolyte...

Electrical field stimulation provides an efficient way to differentiate muscle cells, which results in an increase in the contractile activity and the formation of muscle myofibers. Here, we introduced the use of an interdigitated array of Pt (IDA-Pt) electrodes as a novel platform for the electrical stimulation (ES) of engineered muscle tissues.
