| Abstract | Electronics of tomorrow will be imperceptible and will form a seamless link between soft, living beings and the digital world. Exploring the fundamental physics, mechnical form factors, and materials required to meet the needs of this new generation of soft electronics is driving multidisciplinary reserch worldwide. Weight, flexibility and conformability are pivotal for future wearable, soft and stratchable electronics to proliferate. The abilities to be imperceptible, epidermal, transient and self-healing are fueling the vision of autonomous smart appliances to be embedded everywhere, on textiles, on our skin, and even in our body.
