Mastery of nanotechnology has led researchers to extensively develop materials with consistent electronic properties under flexion. Shear has always presented new difficulties. Now, Korean researchers have developed a polymer-based stretchable nanoarchitechture which they modify to have either conductive or resistive properties. The team has also discovered that the material's exceptional strain properties are a product of local rotations of the polymer -- a winding and unwinding, of sorts, as...
