Stretchable wavy circuit is an essential component in flexible devices, which have wide applications in various fields. In the industrial field, the stretching ability of the circuit is a crucial factor for flexible devices. Therefore, this study proposes laser carving method to increase both stretch ratio and device resolution of the flexible device. The results obtained from the experiment and finite element analysis verifies that laser carving on the wavy circuit increases the maximum stretch ratio of wavy circuit. The obtained analytic model confirms that laser carving generates tilted section on the wavy circuit, and reduces the bending rigidity of the curvy point of the wavy circuit. The study also verified that laser carved groove induces crack propagation into vertical to the circuit direction, so that the laser carved wavy circuit is less likely to disconnect than uncarved wavy circuit. Due to the reduced bending rigidity and crack induce, the wavy circuit stretches more than the conventional uncarved wavy circuit.

We discovered a giant magnetoelasticity in soft matter with up to 5-fold enhancement of magnetomechanical coupling factors compared to that of rigid metal alloys without an externally applied magnetic field. A wavy chain analytical model based on the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction and demagnetizing field was established, fitting well to the experimental observation. To explore its potentials in electronic textiles, we coupled it with magnetic induction to invent a textile magnetoelastic generator (MEG), a new working mechanism for biomechanical energy conversion, featuring an intrinsic waterproofness, an ultralow internal impedance of approximately 20 Ω, and a high short-circuit current density of 1.

Magnetoelastic effect characterizes the change of materials' magnetic properties under mechanical deformation, which is conventionally observed in some rigid metals or metal alloys. Here we show magnetoelastic effect can also exist in 1D soft fibers with stronger magnetomechanical coupling than that in traditional rigid counterparts. This effect is explained by a wavy chain model based on the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction and demagnetizing factor.

Flexible, compact, lightweight and sustainable power sources are indispensable for modern wearable and personal electronics and small-unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Hierarchical honeycomb has the unique merits of compact mesostructures, excellent energy absorption properties and considerable weight to strength ratios. Herein, a honeycomb-inspired triboelectric nanogenerator (h-TENG) is proposed for biomechanical and UAV morphing wing energy harvesting based on contact triboelectrification wavy surface of cellular honeycomb structure.

In primates, broad thorny retinal ganglion cells are highly sensitive to small, moving stimuli. They have tortuous, fine dendrites with many short, spine-like branches that occupy three contiguous strata in the middle of the inner plexiform layer. The neural circuits that generate their responses to moving stimuli are not well-understood, and that was the goal of this study.
