Scientists have developed a conductive elastic polymer coating for lithium-ion battery electrodes, that heals its own cracks after each use. It's been shown to allow silicon electrodes to last up to 10 times longer.

Researchers at Stanford University have used DNA strands to help manufacture transistors made of graphene in a development that paves the way for the large-scale manufacturing of high-performance, low-power integrated circuits.

Stanford University researchers have developed a new, wearable sensor that could revolutionize heart monitoring.

Researchers at Stanford University have developed the first pressure-sensitive synthetic material that can heal itself when torn or cut, giving it potential for use in next-generation prosthetics or self-healing electronic devices.

Researchers at Stanford University have created an electrically conductive gel that feels and behaves like biological tissues, but conducts electricity like a metal or semiconductor.

A new stretchable pressure-sensitive material incorporates coatings of tiny "nano-springs."

Stanford researchers are enhancing the capabilities of its touch-sensitive artificial skin to allow it to detect chemical and biological molecules and run on solar power using stretchable solar cells.

A recent Stanford research breakthrough will aid the push for commercialization of plastic electronics.
