“…These two designs show preferential deformation behavior, i.e., in‐plane and out‐of‐plane deformations, during the unwinding process. Critical factors that determine stretchability of the spiral bridges include the width, radius, and the turn number of the spiral arms, which can easily be tuned . The ratio of width to radius must be considered in the design, which is limited by the maximum principal strain ε max in the spiral arm: ε max = w /2 R , where w is the width of the spiral arm and R is the radius of the innermost circle .…”

Soft electronics are intensively studied as the integration of electronics with dynamic nonplanar surfaces has become necessary. Here, a discussion of the strategies in materials innovation and structural design to build soft electronic devices and systems is provided. For each strategy, the presentation focuses on the fundamental materials science and mechanics, and example device applications are highlighted where possible. Finally, perspectives on the key challenges and future directions of this field are presented.

“…19 Sensors with GF above 200 are often limited by a stretchability of 5%. 20,21 Other highly stretchable strain sensors based on CNT networks show a GF = 0.82 for stretchabilities from 0% up to 40% strain 22 and often suffer from nonlinearity and high hysteresis, 23 while a more recent study on monitoring fruit growth using ink-based stretchable strain sensors displayed a gauge factor of GF = 64, 13 but limited in terms of practicality and linearity up to only 8% strain. Therefore, a balance between sensitivity and desired stretchability needs to be attained depending on the application of interest.…”

The microclimate surrounding a plant has major effect on its health and photosynthesis process, where certain plants struggle in suboptimal environmental conditions and unbalanced levels of humidity and temperature. The ability to remotely track and correlate the effect of local environmental conditions on the healthy growth of plants can have great impact for increasing survival rate of plants and augmenting agriculture output. This necessitates the widespread distribution of lightweight sensory devices on the surface of each plant. Using flexible and biocompatible materials coupled with a smart compact design for a low power and lightweight system, we develop widely deployed, autonomous, and compliant wearables for plants. The demonstrated wearables integrate temperature, humidity and strain sensors, and can be intimately deployed on the soft surface of any plant to remotely and continuously evaluate optimal growth settings. This is enabled through simultaneous detection of environmental conditions while quantitatively tracking the growth rate (viz. elongation). Finally, we establish a nature-inspired origami-assembled 3D-printed "PlantCopter", used as a launching platform for our plant wearable to enable widespread microclimate monitoring in large fields.

Advances in marine research to understand environmental change and its effect on marine ecosystems rely on gathering data on species physiology, their habitat, and their mobility patterns using heavy and invasive biologgers and sensory telemetric networks. In the past, a lightweight (6 g) compliant environmental monitoring system: Marine Skin was demonstrated. In this paper, an enhanced version of that skin with improved functionalities (500–1500% enhanced sensitivity), packaging, and most importantly its endurance at a depth of 2 km in the highly saline Red Sea water for four consecutive weeks is reported. A unique noninvasive approach for attachment of the sensor by designing a wearable, stretchable jacket (bracelet) that can adhere to any species irrespective of their skin type is also illustrated. The wearable featherlight (<0.5 g in air, 3 g with jacket) gadget is deployed on Barramundi, Seabream, and common goldfish to demonstrate the noninvasive and effective attachment strategy on different species of variable sizes which does not hinder the animals' natural movement or behavior.
