Recent Advances in Flexible Field‐Effect Transistors toward Wearable Sensors

The introduction of the “Internet of Things” (IoTs) concept has spawned a series of research and development of wearable sensors. Flexible field‐effect transistors (FETs) are considered to be potential sensing devices due to the variety of material utilization and the self‐amplifying function on ele...
