About
Junyi Zhai is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of stretchable electronics, electronic skin (e-skin), and self-powered multifunctional systems. His most influential work, the 2018 paper on skin-inspired highly stretchable and conformable matrix networks for multifunctional sensing, has garnered over 1,390 citations, establishing a foundational framework for mimicking human somatosensory perception through flexible sensor networks that detect touch, heat, and pain. Zhai has made major contributions to energy-autonomous wearable electronics, notably developing multifunctional coaxial energy fibers that integrate harvesting, storage, and utilization—a critical step toward self-powered soft electronics for human-machine interfaces and the Internet of Things. His innovative self-powered triboelectric-mechanoluminescent e-skin enables simultaneous detection and differentiation of multiple mechanical stimuli without external power. Zhai also advanced wireless stretchable electronics through high-precision epidermal radio frequency antennas using nanofiber networks, achieving over 89 citations. His work extends into reconfigurable neuromorphic vision processing with ferroelectric-gated WSe₂ homojunctions and van der Waals heterostructure-based tribotronic nonvolatile memory. With cumulative citations exceeding 1,800, Zhai’s research continues to shape the future of soft robotics, interactive electronics, and intelligent sensing systems.
