Recent outbreaks of the novel coronavirus have emphasized the importance of quarantine and prevention more than ever. When monitoring changes in our body, body temperature is measured first, so it is very important to measure the temperature accurately and promptly. With this regard, a research team recently developed a stretchable and deformable polymer ionic conductor to realize a thermal sensor that could measure body temperature by simple contact, such as wearing clothes or shaking hands, and an actuator that could control movement of artificial muscle.
