High-Performance Organic Electrochemical Transistors with Nanoscale Channel Length and Their Application to Artificial Synapse.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have attracted considerable interests for various applications ranging from biosensors to digital logic circuits and artificial synapses. However, the majority of reported OECTs utilize large channel length...

Beyond Human Hand: Shape-Adaptive and Reversible Magnetorheological Elastomer-Based Robot Gripper Skin.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Developing a simple and universal solution for gripping fragile, multiscaled, and arbitrary-shaped objects using a robot gripper is challenging. Herein, we propose a universal, shape-adaptive/-retaining and reversible, hardness-variable gripper skin ...

Zwitterionic 3D-Printed Non-Immunogenic Stealth Microrobots.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Microrobots offer transformative solutions for non-invasive medical interventions due to their small size and untethered operation inside the human body. However, they must face the immune system as a natural protection mechanism against foreign thre...

Stretchable Nanocomposite Sensors, Nanomembrane Interconnectors, and Wireless Electronics toward Feedback-Loop Control of a Soft Earthworm Robot.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Sensors that can detect external stimuli and perceive the surrounding areas could offer an ability for soft biomimetic robots to use the sensory feedback for closed-loop control of locomotion. Although various types of biomimetic robots have been dev...

Detachment of the remora suckerfish disc: kinematics and a bio-inspired robotic model.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Remora suckerfish can attach to a wide diversity of marine hosts, however, their detachment mechanism remains poorly understood. Through analyzing high-speed videos, we found that the detachment of the live remora (Echeneis naucrates) is a rapid beha...

Big-Data Science in Porous Materials: Materials Genomics and Machine Learning.

Chemical reviews
By combining metal nodes with organic linkers we can potentially synthesize millions of possible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The fact that we have so many materials opens many exciting avenues but also create new challenges. We simply have too m...

Breaking Down Structural Diversity for Comprehensive Prediction of Ion-Neutral Collision Cross Sections.

Analytical chemistry
Identification of unknowns is a bottleneck for large-scale untargeted analyses like metabolomics or drug metabolite identification. Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) provides rapid two-dimensional separation of ions based on their mobility throu...

Alginate fiber toughened gels similar to skin intelligence as ionic sensors.

Carbohydrate polymers
The stretchable hydrogels provide potential alternatives to bionic skins. However, skin simulation remains seriously challenging due to its complex nature, including mechanical property, protective effect, and sensory capability. Herein, conductive g...

A review of electronic skin: soft electronics and sensors for human health.

Journal of materials chemistry. B
This article reviews several categories of electronic skins (e-skins) for monitoring signals involved in human health. It covers advanced candidate materials, compositions, structures, and integrate strategies of e-skin, focusing on stretchable and w...

Label-Free Tomographic Imaging of Lipid Droplets in Foam Cells for Machine-Learning-Assisted Therapeutic Evaluation of Targeted Nanodrugs.

ACS nano
Lipid droplet (LD) accumulation, a key feature of foam cells, constitutes an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in atherosclerosis. However, despite advances in cellular imaging techniques, current noninvasive and quantitative methods hav...
