AbstractNontechnical Wearable electronics that emit and detect near-infrared (IR) light hold promise for affordable and non-invasive healthcare, including early detection of disease and light therapy. In order to adapt to the natural movements of the skin, materials must maintain their structural integrity and electronic properties while being deformed or stressed. Many materials active in the near-IR are rigid and brittle, and thus cannot be used for wearable devices. The discovery of new materials for
