Transparent Conductor Stretches, Like an Accordion

Caption

The dimensions of each ridge in the transparent conductor directly affect the structure's stretchability. The taller each ridge is, the more stretchable the structure. This is because the structure stretches by having the two sides of a ridge bend away from each other at the base -- like a person doing a split.
