4+ day, 5+ hour ago   (794+ words) In a development that blurs the line between synthetic materials and living tissue, researchers have unveiled a new class of self-assembling, 3D-printable materials that closely mimic the architecture and behavior of biological tissues....

1+ week, 2+ day ago   (445+ words) In a development that could reshape the design of next-generation optical and optoelectronic devices, researchers have reported the observation of extraordinarily large, anomalous nonlinear optical responses driven by excitons and multiphoton absorption in layered hybrid perovskite semiconductors....

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (608+ words) Hydrogels have long been considered one of the most promising material platforms for implantable bioelectronics. Soft, water-rich, and chemically similar to living tissue, they promise a gentle interface between electronics and biology. Yet despite decades of enthusiasm, hydrogel-based implants have…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago   (838+ words) Brain–computer interfaces have already allowed paralyzed volunteers to type by thought, steer robotic arms, and speak through a synthesizer driven purely by neural activity. Yet almost none of these achievements has survived contact with everyday life, where motion, sweat,…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago   (677+ words) A new class of soft electronic amplifiers could help implantable biosensors record the body’s faint electrical signals more accurately, even as living tissue stretches, bends and moves. The devices, described by W. Sun, X. Pan, W. Yuan and colleagues, combine…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago   (660+ words) Emotions are not confined to the human body or to the private workings of the mind. A racing heartbeat can alter a person’s thoughts; social expectations can change how that heartbeat is interpreted; a message on a screen can trigger…...
