Freestanding VO2 membranes on epidermal nanomesh for ultra-sensitive correlated breathable sensors by Dongha Kim, Dongju Lee, Jiseok Park, Jihoon Bae, Aiping Chen, Judith L. MacManus-Driscoll, Sungwon Lee, Shinbuhm Lee

“…The stimuli modulate the Peierls dimerization of one-dimensional V−V chains in the VO2 lattice which concomitantly controls the electron correlation and hence resistivity. Since our breathable sensors operate based on quantum-mechanical correlation effects, their sensitivity is 1−2 orders of magnitude higher than conventional tactile and respiratory sensors based on other materials. …”
