Abstract
Recent advancements in the development of novel liquid metal antenna structures offer unique advantages for implantable and on-body communication systems. With fluidic radiating elements encapsulated in a polymer substrate, these antennas offer improved stretchability, tunability, and flexibility over conventional, solid antennas. These antenna structures can stretch and flex without fatiguing or breaking.
