Explore the grand wrinkle canyon
Confocal laser scanning microscope image of a wrinkled magnetic field sensor for stretchable electronics superimposed on a private photograph of the Grand Canyon. The spin valve is applied as a highly sensitive magnetoelectronic element. The random wrinkling and periodic fracture of the metal film prepared on a PDMS rubber allows for device stretchabilities up to 30%.

Paddling through silicon
False color scanning electron microscope images of gold catalysts pinned with polymer lines rotating out of the plane of the silicon substrate during metal-assisted chemical etching, creating 50-nm-wide curved silicon nanohorns. Calculations are based on the deformation of the catalyst arms that were used to identify the driving forces for catalyst motion.
