About
Dr. Zikang Tang is a leading materials scientist whose research focuses on the design and engineering of advanced functional nanomaterials, particularly for flexible electronics and sensing applications. His most impactful contribution addresses a fundamental challenge in wearable technology: the trade-off between stretchability and sensitivity in strain sensors. In his highly cited 2018 work (98 citations), Dr. Tang pioneered a novel gradient structure of carbon nanotubes, demonstrating that a carefully engineered conductive network could achieve both ultra-high stretchability and exceptional sensitivity simultaneously—a breakthrough that had long eluded the field. This work has significantly influenced the development of next-generation wearable health monitors and soft robotics. Beyond this, Dr. Tang has made notable contributions to the broader nanoscience community, including co-editing a special issue of *Small* celebrating the 40th anniversary of the University of Macau, where he has been instrumental in advancing the institution’s research profile. His work continues to inspire researchers seeking to overcome intrinsic material limitations through innovative structural design.
