Our new paper, “A washable, stretchable, and self-powered human-machine interfacing  Triboelectric nanogenerator for wireless communications and soft robotics pressure sensor  arrays” is introducing a Flexible and stretchable human-machine Interfacing devices based on  Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG). This technology is shown promising potential for self- powered human-machine interacting devices.
​
This device is capable of converting mechanical energy of finger tapping to electrical energy  based on contact electrification, which can eliminate the need of external power source.  Finally, The device can be utilized for wireless communication with computers owing to the  self-powering mechanism.
