An autonomously electrically self-healing liquid metal–elastomer composite for robust soft-matter robotics and electronics

Liquid metal droplets dispersed in an elastomer can form conducting paths when the composite is exposed to extreme mechanical pressure. This ability is used to realize flexible circuits that autonomously electrically self-heal after puncturing or tearing.
