Stretchy electronics go wireless for flexible wearables #WearableWednesday

Its difficult to be comfortable with some stretch, just think of your favorite sweatpants. This stretchable diode tech may be a key to future wearables.

Via Nature:

Flexible electronics offer a lot of potential benefits to the design of wearable technology, but previous intrinsically stretchable semiconductors haven’t been able to meet the strict requirements for the high-frequency operation needed for many useful applications.

Now a team of researchers have developed a new polymer diode that is stretchable and operates at high enough frequency to unlock wireless operation and

Every Wednesday is Wearable Wednesday here at Adafruit! We’re bringing you the blinkiest, most fashionable, innovative, and useful wearables from around the web and in our own original projects featuring our wearable Arduino-compatible platform, FLORA. Be sure to post up your wearables projects in the forums or send us a link and you might be featured here on Wearable Wednesday!
