About

Xiaoyu Song is a leading figure in the development of advanced materials for flexible electronics and wearable sensor technologies. Her groundbreaking research focuses on the synthesis and application of novel single-crystal semiconductors, with a particular emphasis on cubic boron phosphide (c-BP). In her most cited work, "Ultralarge Elastic Deformation (180° Fold) of Cubic-natBP Microwires for Wearable Flexible Strain Sensors" (2023), Song achieved a remarkable milestone by demonstrating that c-BP microwires can withstand a full 180° fold while maintaining exceptional electrical performance. By ingeniously applying the B–Ni phase diagram to synthesize pure-phase single crystals, she created a material capable of converting mechanical strain into precise electrical signals—a critical function for next-generation wearable health monitors and soft robotics. With 15 citations in its first year, this work has already sparked significant interest in the field. Song’s contributions are not only advancing the fundamental science of flexible semiconductors but also paving the way for durable, high-sensitivity strain sensors that could revolutionize how we interact with technology in daily life.
