Soft and stretchable sensors have the potential to be incorporated into soft robotics and conformal electronics. Liquid metals represent a promising class of materials for creating these sensors because they can undergo large deformations while retaining electrical continuity. Incorporating liquid metal into hollow elastomeric capillaries results in fibers that can integrate with textiles, comply...
Scanning electron micrographs of hollow elastic fibers. Injecting the core with liquid metal renders the fibers conductive. As Michael D. Dickey and co‐workers present in article number 1605630, two or more fibers twisted together can sense large amounts of torsion due to changes in geometry, and therefore capacitance, between the fibers. Self‐capacitance between fingers and the metal in the fibers...
