The Tzu-En Lin Laboratory (TEL Lab) is a premier hub for the development of high-performance, next-generation sensors. The lab’s research centers on the architectural engineering of two-dimensional MXene-based nanomaterials to create sensors with unprecedented sensitivity and mechanical resilience. By leveraging the high metallic conductivity and hydrophilic surface of MXenes, the lab fabricates specialized structures including MXene nano-cellulose fiber membranes, conductive aerogels, and 3D-printed hydrogels.

The TEL Lab excels in developing multi-modal sensors capable of detecting subtle physiological signals and large-scale human motions via advanced pressure and strain sensing mechanisms. To address the global challenge of e-waste, the lab prioritizes sustainable electronics, utilizing biodegradable substrates like bamboo-derived cellulose. This ensures that the lab's cutting-edge wearable devices remain eco-friendly while providing continuous, real-time health monitoring.
