We present a transparent touch sensor based on single layers of graphene that works under a gentle touch. Using the flexible characteristics of graphene, a touching event and a vertical force are measured by a change in the channel conductance. In contrast to the previous graphene gauge sensors, this is an alternative scheme that responds to a vertical force using the contacting properties of two isolated and patterned single graphene layers. This sensor responded to pressures ranging from 1 to

The human skin has inspired multimodal detection using smart devices or systems in fields including biomedical engineering, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Hairs of a high aspect ratio (AR) connected to follicles, in particular, detect subtle structural displacements by airflow or ultralight touch above the skin. Here, hairy skin electronics assembled with an array of graphene sensors (16 pixels) and artificial microhairs for multimodal detection of tactile stimuli and details of airflows

Considering the characteristics and operating environment of remotely controlled miniature soft robots, achieving delicate adhesion control over various target surfaces is a substantial challenge. In particular, the ability to delicately grasp wrinkled and soft biological and nonbiological surfaces with low preload without causing damage is essential. The proposed adhesive robotic system, inspired by the secretions from a velvet worm, uses a structured magnetorheological material that exhibits p

Strong peeling resistance and water-drainable properties on rough and wet skin surfaces are highly desirable for realizing wearable and skin-attachable electronic sensors. Here, we propose a transparent, sensitive, glue-free pressure sensor for skin electronics. To achieve a thin, light-weight, transparent, and stretchable sensor patch, we laminated a single-layer graphene film as a sensing element on a thin polymeric supporter of polydimethylsiloxane. By assembling the graphene layer with dense

Recently, three-dimensional (3D) porous foams have been studied, but further improvement in nanoscale surface area and stretchability is required for electronic and energy applications. Herein, a general strategy is reported to form a tailored wrinkling structure on strut surfaces inside a 3D polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymeric foam. Controlled wrinkles are created on the struts of 3D foam through an oxygen plasma treatment to form a bilayer surface of PDMS on uniaxially prestretched 3D PDMS f
