Abstract: Recently, high-resolution patterning techniques of stretchable electronics advanced extensively. An important trend is to fabricate complex circuits with varied sizes in a small area, which is a technical challenge to current conductive ink printing technologies. Here, we introduce a new strategy for multi-resolution liquid alloy printing, which can tune the resolution of printed liquid alloy trace in real time with the squeezing effect of compound viscoelastic flow. A newly developed coaxial nozzle with the inner nozzle extension (CNINE) is used to wrap and squeeze liquid alloy steadily and
