Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="aenm201470020-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>In article number 1301396 Pooi See Lee and co‐workers report a stretchable silver‐zinc battery embedded in an elastomer matrix. The two strips based on embedded nanowire elastic conductors represent the battery cathode (silver) and anode (zinc), which can be stretched up to 80% strain while maintaining proper functionalities. The novel soft battery holds great promise for future wearable and stretchable electronic applications. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg52ww6t5z" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
