The development of wearable and on-skin electronics requires high-density stretchable electronic systems that can conform to soft tissue, operate continuously and provide long-term biocompatibility. Most stretchable electronic systems have low-density integration and are wired with external printed circuit boards, which limits functionality, deteriorates user experience and impedes long-term usability. Here we report an intrinsically permeable, three-dimensional integrated electronic skin. The system combines high-density inorganic electronic components with organic stretchable fibrous substrates using three-dimensional patterned, multilayered liquid metal circuits and stretchable hybrid liquid metal solder. The electronic skin exhibits high softness, durability, fabric-like permeability to air and moisture and sufficient biocompatibility for on-skin attachment for a week. We use the platform to create wireless, battery-powered and battery-free skin-attached bioelectronic systems that offer complex system-level functions, including the stable sensing of biosignals, signal processing and analysis, electrostimulation and wireless communication. An electronic skin that connects rigid inorganic electronic components with a multilayered stretchy liquid metal fibre mat using a hybrid liquid metal solder can offer high integration density while remaining soft, permeable and biocompatible.

Electrons carry both spin and orbital angular momentum. The search for phenomena that generate a flow of spin angular momentum—a spin current—has led to the development of spintronics. In contrast, the orbital counterpart of spin current—an orbital current—has largely been overlooked, and the generation of an orbital current remains challenging. Here we report the observation of orbital-current generation from magnetization dynamics: orbital pumping. We show that orbital pumping in nickel/titanium bilayers injects an orbital current into the titanium layer, which we detect through the inverse orbital Hall effect. Orbital pumping is the orbital counterpart of spin pumping, a versatile and powerful mechanism for spin-current generation. Our findings could, thus, provide a promising approach for generating orbital currents and could help in the development of the orbital analogue of spintronics: orbitronics. In ferromagnetic/non-magnetic bilayers of nickel/titanium, the precession of magnetization in the nickel layer can inject an orbital current into the titanium layer through orbital pumping, the orbital counterpart of spin pumping.
