Geometry‐Encoded Soft Strain Sensing via Liquid‐Metal Transmission Lines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a liquid‐metal transmission‐line strain sensor that achieves intrinsic decoupling by encoding axial elongation into propagation delay. The time‐domain readout remains stable under complex off‐axis. This enables reliable, repeatable, real‐time elongation measurement in dynamic, multiaxial loading environments for wearable electronics,

Robust, Breathable and Stretchable Liquid Metal Composite Nanofibre for Physiological Electrical Signal Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A conductive TPU/liquid‐metal nanofibrous film is fabricated via ultrasonic dispersion, electrospinning, and mold imprinting. The film is breathable, stretchable, deformation‐stable, and provides electromagnetic shielding. n‐Butanol encapsulation mitigates liquid‐metal surface tension and improves biocompatibility. Stable ECG, EOG, EEG, and EMG signals
