These are multi-pixel electroluminescent displays fabricated via replica molding. The device measures 5 mm thick, with each of the 64 pixels measuring 4 mm. It can be deformed and stretched in various ways. Credit: Science, Organic Robotics Lab at Cornell University
Imagine a health care robot that could display the patient’s temperature and pulse, and even reacts to a patient’s mood. It sounds futuristic, but a team of Cornell grad students – led by Assistant Prof. Rob Shepherd- has developed an electroluminescent “skin” that stretches to more than 6X its original size while still emitting light. The discovery could lead to significant advances in health care, transportation, electronic communication and other areas.
“This material can stretch with the body of a soft robot, and that’s wha...
