Developing wireless nanodevices and nanosystems is of critical importance for sensing, medical science, environmental/infrastructure monitoring, and even personal electronics. It is highly desirable for wireless devices to be self-powered without using battery. Triboelectrification is a universal phenomenon that exists for all of the materials regarding their chemical structure and physical shape. This presentation will focus on the flexible materials based triboelectric nanogenreators that can be use not only for energy harvesting but also as self-powered sensors for soft robotics and medical sciences.<br/> <br/>References<br/>[1] Z.L.
