Octopus suckers offer remarkable adhesion performance against nonporous surfaces and have inspired extensive research to develop artificial adhesives. However, most of existing octopus‐inspired adhesives are either passive without an actuation strategy or active but not energy efficient. Here, a novel design of a magnetically actuated, energy‐effic...

Humans perceive the world through five senses, of which olfaction is the oldest evolutionary sense that enables the detection of chemicals in the external environment. Recent progress in bioinspired electronics has boosted the development of artificial sensory systems. Here, a biohybrid olfactory system is proposed by integrating living mammals wit...

Electrical neural interfaces provide direct communication pathways between living brain tissue and engineered devices to understand brain function. However, conventional neural probes have remained limited in providing stable, long-lasting recordings because of large mechanical and structural mismatches with respect to brain tissue. The development...

Flexible intracortical probes offer important opportunities for stable neural interfaces by reducing chronic immune responses, but their advances usually come with challenges of difficult implantation and limited recording span. Here, we reported a mechanically adaptive and deployable intracortical probe, which features a foldable fishbone-like str...

Objective. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been demonstrated as an effective way to selectively activate muscles and to produce fine hand movements. However, sequential multi-joint upper limb movements, which are critical for paralysis rehabilitation, has not been tested with PNS. Here, we aimed to restore multiple upper limb joint movements...

The thermal properties of bilayer graphene (BLG) play a crucial role in the advancement of its promising electronic devices. However, the measurement of thermal conductivity using current techniques faces obstacles due to the low temperature gradient both in plane and across the interface in the sample. Here we present an approach to simultaneously...

Wearable electronics have continued to attract the attention of researchers and clinicians due to their great potential in medical applications. During their operations, the undesired heating may cause thermal discomfort or damage to skin. Seeking materials and structures for advanced thermal protection has become an urgent issue. Here, we report a...

p-type silicon (p-Si)/macro-assembled graphene nanofilm (nMAG)/n-type silicon (n-Si) heterojunction is utilized to fabricate near-infrared photodetector. Dual built-in electric fields were established in the same direction at the p-Si/nMAG and nMAG/n-Si heterojunctions, providing an enhanced electron-hole separation ability. The p-Si/nMAG/n-Si devi...

Transfer printing based on switchable adhesive that heterogeneously integrates materials is essential to develop novel electronic systems, such as flexible electronics and micro LED displays. Here, we report a robust design of a thermal actuated switchable dry adhesive, which features a stiff sphere embedded in a thermally responsive shape memory p...

Transfer printing techniques based on tunable adhesives that enable heterogeneous integration of materials in desired layouts are essential for developing existing and envisioned systems such as flexible electronics and micro‐LED (µ‐LED) displays. Here, a novel thermal controlled tunable adhesive, which not only has the ability of eliminating the i...

Flexible polymer-based neural probes are promising tools to interfaces with brain tissue since the low stiffness and thin geometry of these probes make them compliant to soft tissue in a manner that allows for reducing the inflammation responses. However, the same properties make flexible probes susceptible to bending and buckling during insertion,...
