A new plastic-like material can go from being soft and stretchy to hard and rigid with just a catalyst and some light.

A system for monitoring motion and muscle engagement could aid the elderly and athletes during unsupervised physical rehabilitation for injuries or impaired mobility.

A stretchy, flexible device that measures changes in tumor size to the hundredth of a millimeter offers a faster, more accurate way to screen cancer drugs.

A new moisture-driven electricity generation device made with a thin piece of fabric could power wearable electronics in the future.

The device senses and wirelessly transmits signals related to pulse, sweat, and ultraviolet exposure, without bulky chips or batteries.

Engineers 3D print materials with networks of sensors directly incorporated.

A flexible computing chip that mimics the workings of the human brain to process information is a leap forward for wearable health tech, researchers say.

The technique opens a door to manufacturing of pressure-monitoring bandages, shade-shifting fabrics, or touch-sensing robots.

New stamp-sized ultrasound adhesives produce clear images of heart, lungs, and other internal organs.

A new wristwatch-style health monitor can keep track of your pulse, without the need for a battery or outside power source.
