Publication: MycelioTronics - Fungal mycelium skin for sustainable electronics
Electronic devices are irrevocably integrated into our lives. Yet, their limited lifetime and often improvident disposal demands sustainable concepts…
Publication: Elucidating the Origins of High Preferential Crystal Orientation in Quasi-2D Perovskite Solar Cells
Incorporating large organic cations to form two‐dimensional (2D) and mixed 2D/3D structures significantly increases the stability of perovskite solar…
Publication: Ultrafast small-scale soft electromagnetic robots
Here, we present a class of small-scale soft electromagnetic robots made of curved elastomeric bilayers, driven by Lorentz forces acting on embedded…
Publication: Stretchable and Biodegradable Batteries with High Energy and Power Density
Here, a concept for merging intrinsically stretchable materials with engineered stretchability by kirigami-patterning on a component level is shown to…
Publication: 3D printing of resilient biogels for omnidirectional and exteroceptive soft actuators
We report a customized 3D-printing process based on fused deposition modeling, printing a fully biodegradable gelatin-based hydrogel (biogel) ink into…
Publication: iSens - A Fiber-Based, Highly Permeable and Imperceptible Sensor Design
Embedded sensors are key to optimizing processes and products; they collect data that allow time, energy, and materials to be saved, thereby reducing…
Publication: Scalable Microfabrication of Folded Parylene-Based Conductors for Stretchable Electronics
Electronics implemented on biocompatible ultrathin substrates like polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide, or parylene enabled a wide range of…
Publication: Elastocaloric heat pump with specific cooling power of 20.9 W g⁻¹ exploiting snap-through instability and strain-induced crystallization
Conventional refrigeration relies on hazardous agents, contributing to global warming. Soft, cheap, biodegradable solid-state elastocaloric cooling…
