Self-healing liquid metal composite for reconfigurable and recyclable soft electronics

There is growing interest in flexible electronic devices, though their soft nature can make them vulnerable to damage. Here, a liquid metal-elastomer composite is shown to self-heal, can be stretched 1200% with limited change in electrical resistance, and the conductive circuit can be reconfigured.
