About awarded research (activity)
Thin, stretchable devices known as 'electronic skin' can adhere closely to the skin and measure biological signals with high precision over long periods, while incorporating rigid and bulky batteries compromises wearability, making long-term use difficult. By using fabric-based wireless power transmitters, electronic skin can operate for extended periods without batteries. However, the power transmission must be limited to reduce electromagnetic exposure to the human body, and the high loss of conductive threads results in low power transmission efficiency. Therefore, to wirelessly power devices near the body surface with high efficiency while suppressing electromagnetic exposure, we improved the meander coils we previously developed for communication. Additionally, by using flexible liquid metal wires, we achieved a safe and highly efficient full-body wireless power transmission suit that can deliver 2.5W of power with approximately 40% efficiency.

Your impression & future plan
I am very honored to receive this award. I would like to thank all of my collaborators who have worked with me on this challenging research and who have supported me in my research life. I hope this paper will contribute to the future development of wireless charging.
