Description
Ziying Wang leads a 2026 study of a stretchable skin electrode inspired by kirigami, the art of paper cutting, for recording heart signals during daily life. Electrodes must stick closely to skin while a person moves and sweats, or signals become noisy. The device layers a cut copper electrode between adhesive and protective films.
The design is soft, fills a high area, keeps stable contact while moving, and sticks reliably, the authors report. It collected electrocardiogram signals in real time during daily activities, with strong resistance to sweat and motion artifacts. They position it for dynamic human-machine interfaces, where stable skin contact during exercise has limited earlier static designs.
