Soft and stretchable conductors and electrodes
Soft and stretchable conductors and electrodes are the core of the technology. By synthesizing tailormade noble metal nanomaterials, conductors and electrodes can be achieved that simultaneously provide outstanding conductivity, softness, long-term mechanical and chemical stability, and electrode performance.Advanced laser microfabrication
Advanced laser microfabrication processes allow for transforming materials into devices for neural interfaces. Delicate nanocomposites require specialized processing to preserve functionality while achieving high resolution. For this purpose, we develop a range of laser microfabrication methods employing femtosecond and deep UV laser microfabrication.Soft neural technology
Soft neural technology is developed based on the unique materials and fabrication processes. A wide variety of devices and form factors are developed to fit the special needs of the various parts of the central and peripheral nervous system.The research is funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation (KAW), the European Research Council (ERC), the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF), the Swedish Research Council (VR), and the Swedish Government Strategic Research Area in Materials Science on Advanced Functional Materials at Linköping University (AFM).
