About
Heng-Chuan Lin is a leading innovator in the field of flexible and self-healing electronics, with a primary focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and self-powered electronic skins. His most impactful contribution is the development of the first entirely, intrinsically, and autonomously self-healable, highly transparent, and superstretchable TENG, published in *Advanced Functional Materials* in 2019. This breakthrough device, which has garnered 179 citations, simultaneously achieves unprecedented combinations of properties—autonomous self-healing without external stimuli, over 90% transparency, and extreme stretchability—enabling it to function as both a personal power source and a self-powered electronic skin. Lin’s work addresses a critical challenge in next-generation energy and electronic systems: creating components that are not only deformable and transparent but also capable of fully recovering from mechanical damage. By integrating these features into a single platform, his research paves the way for durable, wearable, and implantable devices that can harvest energy from body motion while sensing touch or pressure. This work, featured on the cover of *Advanced Functional Materials*, represents a significant leap toward truly autonomous and resilient soft robotics and human-machine interfaces.
