Abstract Drawing inspiration from cohesive integration of skeletal muscles and sensory skins in vertebrate animals, we present a design strategy soft robots, primarily consisting an electronic skin (e-skin) artificial muscle. These robots integrate multifunctional sensing on-demand actuation into biocompatible platform using in-situ solution-based method. They feature biomimetic designs that enable adaptive motions stress-free contact with tissues, supported by battery-free wireless module...
Bioelectronic implants featuring soft mechanics, excellent biocompatibility, and outstanding electrical performance hold promising potential to revolutionize implantable technology. These biomedical can record electrophysiological signals execute direct therapeutic interventions within internal organs, offering transformative in the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment of various pathological conditions. However, challenges remain improving excessive impedance at bioelectronic-tissue interface...
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metals enable the elimination of metal-induced gap states and Fermi-level pinning in field-effect transistors (FETs), offering an advantage over conventional metal contacts. However, substrates typically exhibit nonoriented behaviors, leading to inability achieve monolingual responses with P- or N-type semiconductors. Here we devise symmetry engineering oxidized architectural MXene, termed OXene, which implements exploiting coupling additional out-of-plane...
Symmetry lies at the heart of two-dimensional (2D) bioelectronics, determining material properties fundamental level. Breaking symmetry allows emergent functionalities and effects. However, modulation in 2D bioelectronics resultant applications have been largely overlooked. Here, we devise an oxidized architectural MXene, referred to as MXene (OXene), that couples orbit symmetric breaking with inverse entitle optimized interfacial impedance Schottky-induced piezoelectric The resulting OXene...
Neuromuscular diseases pose significant health and economic challenges, necessitating innovative monitoring technologies for personalizable treatment. Existing devices detect muscular motions either indirectly from mechanoacoustic signatures on skin surface or via ultrasound waves that demand specialized adhesion. Here, we report a wireless wearable system, Laryngeal Health Monitor (LaHMo), designed to be conformally placed the neck continuously measuring movements of underlying muscles. The...
DNA and proteins fold in three dimensions (3D) to enable functions that sustain life. Emulation of such folding schemes for functional materials can unleash enormous potential advancing a wide range technologies, especially robotics, medicine, telecommunication. Here, we report microfolding strategy enables formation 3D morphable microelectronic systems integrated with various materials, including monocrystalline silicon, metallic nanomembranes, polymers. By predesigning hosts configuring...
Fast and accurate assessment of skin mechanics holds great promise in diagnosing various epidermal diseases, yet substantial challenges remain developing simple wearable strategies for continuous monitoring. Here, we present a design concept, named active near-infrared spectroscopy patch (ANIRP) continuously mapping mechanics. ANIRP addresses these by integrating (NIR) sensing with mechanical actuators, enabling rapid measurement (<1 s) Young’s modulus, high spatial density (~1 cm 2 ),...
