About
Fenge Lin is a pioneer in soft, skin-like energy and sensing systems for wearable human-machine interfaces. Their research centers on stretchable bioelectronics, triboelectric nanogenerators, and self-powered wearable sensors. Lin’s most impactful work, the self-powered gold nanowire tattoo triboelectric sensor (128 citations), introduced a paradigm for imperceptible, skin-conformal interfaces that harvest mechanical energy from body motion to power themselves—eliminating the need for bulky batteries. This innovation enables continuous, untethered monitoring of physiological signals and touch gestures. Equally notable is Lin’s development of a skin-like stretchable fuel cell, which uses gold-nanowire-impregnated porous polymer scaffolds to create a soft, conformable power source that can be worn directly on the body. This work addresses a critical bottleneck in wearable technology: the mismatch between rigid power supplies and flexible electronics. By merging materials science with device engineering, Lin has demonstrated how ultrathin gold nanowires can serve as both conductive electrodes and structural elements in stretchable platforms. Their contributions have opened new pathways for truly wearable, energy-autonomous systems, with direct applications in healthcare, robotics, and augmented reality.
