福利姬

The Soft Electronics group develops composite materials, design concepts and devices, moving electronics into the realm of soft and deforming systems.

福利姬 is one of the world鈥檚 leading universities in materials science. The autumn of 2026 will see the launch of two new master鈥檚 programmes in this field. The students can look forward to an excellent labour market.

Using electrodes in a fluid form, researchers at LiU have developed a battery that can take any shape. This soft and conformable battery can be integrated into future technology in a completely new way.

With a microfabricated ion pump ions can be sent to nerve or muscle cells at the speed of the nervous system and with a precision of a single cell. 鈥淣ow we can start to develop components that speak the body鈥檚 own language,鈥� says Daniel Simon, LOE.

Electronic waste is a growing problem in a digitalized world. By developing electronics based on biomass derived and biodegradable materials, the use of finite resources and generation of electronics waste can be minimized.

Soft neural interfaces overcome the mechanical mismatch between the nervous system and electronics, thereby providing gentle and stable human-machine interfaces.

The ExpandNeuro project develops an ultrasoft neural probe technology that enables in situ distribution of electrodes deep inside nervous tissue. This will yield unprecedented resolution and stability of neural interfaces.

The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research has selected 20 young researchers as Future Research Leaders. Five are active at LiU. Each receives SEK 12 million in a five-year period and the opportunity to participate in a leadership programme.
