A new method for creating soft, flexible electric connections across and through circuit layers may pave the way for advanced soft robotics and wearable devices.
The method uses liquid metal microdroplets to create vias, forming small conductive passages without needing drilled holes.
This technique allows for electronics that can stretch, bend, and twist while maintaining high functionality and durability.
The research was led by Michael Bartlett from Virginia Tech and was published in Nature Electronics.
