University of Houston and Pennsylvania State University researchers fabricate conducting polymer microcups from polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) for neural applications and drug delivery. These microcups are tunable in terms of size, surface roughness, electrical properties, and drug release.
Ting Zhang and co-workers from the Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences develop a novel superhydrophobic and piezoresistive coating for wearable sensing devices. The coating is durable in harsh conditions and can be used to detect real-time human movement when fabricated as a wearable strain sensor.
A novel, electroluminescent device concept that can emit light in response to the accumulation and distribution of materials on the device surface is developed.
Control over macro- and microstructures, density, conductivity, and Poisson ratio is enabled by this new combined metallic aerogel production technique.
An advanced 4D bioprinting approach uses shape-morphing, biopolymer hydrogels to form the basis for blood vessels and other tubular structures in artificial tissues and organs.
Researchers introduce a new device concept for electroluminescent displays, which does not require transparent electrodes and can be used as remotely readable, spatially-responsive sensors that emit light in response to the accumulation and distribution of materials on the device surface.
