MORPHEUS join the Graphene Flagship
MORPHEUS launched!
Introducing MORPHEUS
Flexible electronics can support continuous health and environmental monitoring, but many current devices remain rigid, bulky, uncomfortable and difficult to recycle. MORPHEUS addresses this challenge by developing a sustainable, ultrathin and modular sensing platform that combines physiological and environmental sensors with flexible energy components and wireless communication.
Our objectives
Real time monitoring
Monitor physiological signals and indoor environmental conditions in real time
Flexibility
Create an ultrathin, conformable electronic backbone with interchangeable sensors
Energy efficiency
Integrate flexible energy harvesting and low power wireless communication
Sustainable-by-Design
Use scalable manufacturing and biodegradable or recyclable materials.
Innovative and advanced materials (IAMs) can enable new technologies and the much-needed paradigm of an electronic device that can adapt to any substrate.
