Abstract Real‐time monitoring of human health can be significantly improved by designing novel electronic skin (E‐skin) platforms that mimic the characteristics and sensitivity skin. A high‐quality E‐skin platform simultaneously monitor multiple physiological metabolic biomarkers without introducing discomfort or irritation is an unmet medical need. Conventional E‐skins are either monofunctional made from elastomeric films do not include key synergistic features natural skin, such as...

Serial assessment of the biomechanical properties tissues can be used to aid early detection and management pathophysiological conditions, track evolution lesions evaluate progress rehabilitation. However, current methods are invasive, only for short-term measurements, or have insufficient penetration depth spatial resolution. Here we describe a stretchable ultrasonic array performing serial non-invasive elastographic measurements up 4 cm beneath skin at resolution 0.5 mm. The conforms human...

A simple and clean method of transferring two-dimensional (2D) materials plays a critical role in the fabrication 2D electronics, particularly heterostructure devices based on artificial vertical stacking various crystals. Currently, transfer techniques rely sacrificial layers or bulky crystal flakes (e.g., hexagonal boron nitride) to pick up materials. Here, we develop capillary-force-assisted clean-stamp technique that uses thin layer evaporative liquid water) as an instant glue increase...

Abstract Electronic patches, based on various mechanisms, allow continuous and noninvasive monitoring of biomolecules the skin surface. However, to date, such devices are unable sense in deep tissues, which have a stronger faster correlation with human physiological status than those Here, we demonstrate photoacoustic patch for three-dimensional (3D) mapping hemoglobin tissues. This integrates an array ultrasonic transducers vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) diodes common soft...

Blood loss by hemorrhaging wounds accounts for over one-third of ∼5 million trauma fatalities worldwide every year. If not controlled in a timely manner, exsanguination can take lives within few minutes. Developing new biomaterials that are easy to use non-expert patients and promote rapid blood coagulation is an unmet medical need. Here, biocompatible, biodegradable microneedle arrays (MNAs) based on gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) biomaterial hybridized with silicate nanoplatelets (SNs)...

Hemorrhage and bacterial infections are major hurdles in the management of life-threatening surgical wounds. Most bioadhesives for wound closure lack sufficient hemostatic antibacterial properties. Furthermore, they suffer from weak sealing efficacy, particularly stretchable organs, such as lung bladder. Accordingly, there is an unmet need mechanically robust sealants with simultaneous effects. Here, injectable, photocrosslinkable, hydrogel sealant based on gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA),...

Abstract Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins containing cell‐attachable Arg‐Gly‐Asp (RGD) sequences exhibit variable bridging and non‐bridging in fibronectin‐collagen laminin‐collagen complexes that can regulate inflammation, tissue repair, wound healing. In this study, linking molecule‐mediated conjugation of 1D magnetic nanocylinders (MNCs) to material surfaces pre‐decorated with gold nanospheres (GNSs) is performed, thereby yielding RGD‐coated MNCs (RGD‐MNCs) over GNSs (RGD‐GNSs) a state....
