Micro-/nano-voids guided two-stage film cracking on bioinspired assemblies for high-performance electronics

Metal film-based electronics usually fail via uncontrolled cracking at small strains. Here, the authors design a micro-/nano-structured surface with bundled flexible nanowires onto which a metal film can stretch more than a regular flat surface, retard penetrating cracks and remain sensitive.
