摘要

Flexible electronics have advanced wearable health monitoring and wireless communication, yet their long-term deployment is constrained by mechanical mismatch, power-source dependence and limited transmission distance. Here we present a fully chip-less, self-powered and wireless electronic patch that operates through friction-induced electromagnetic waves. Using one dielectric layer and two patterned metal layers, the device integrates sensing, energy supply and wireless communication in a compact architecture. Grid and antenna patterns enable vector sensing and information encoding. The patch achieves a wireless working distance exceeding 96 m, enabling self-powered motion sensing and wireless communication from centimetre to near-hundred-metre scales. We demonstrate an adhesive, stretchable patch for knee and finger-bending monitoring and a wristband for binary-coded messaging. Our platform highlights a practical strategy for wearable sensing and wireless communication.
