Mashup Score: 1Bionic artificial penile Tunica albuginea - 1 year(s) ago
The mammalian TA is characterized by a double-layer orthogonal structure composed of stacked parallel wavy collagen fibers, which plays a crucial role during penile erection. We prepared isotropic PVA hydrogels into ATA with parallel wavy fibers by stretch-induced orientation. ATA exhibited TA-like strain hardening characteristics and achieved effective repair results in a porcine penile injury…

Mashup Score: 4
We report fabric-like gel sheets that are both flexible and highly absorbent. The sheets are macroporous, soft, and robust; they can be folded, rolled up, and cut with scissors. At the same time, like hydrogels, they substantially absorb water and expand as they absorb. The sheets also absorb viscous liquids like blood as well as viscoelastic polymer solutions. Such gel sheets could be used to…

Mashup Score: 0MXene quantum dots/perovskite heterostructure enabling highly specific ultraviolet detection for skin prevention - 1 year(s) ago
A wearable visible-blind UV monitoring system based on a Ti3C2Tx quantum dot/Ca2Nb3O10 nanosheet photodetector is proposed. Benefiting from the heterostructure design, our photodetector achieves a high photocurrent responsivity of 264 A W−1 at 310 nm. The wearable visible-blind UV monitoring system can monitor UV radiation under various weather conditions, showing the potential of application in…

Mashup Score: 0Strategies for body-conformable electronics - 1 year(s) ago
Body-conformable electronics allow for unobstructive, long-term, and high-fidelity human body sensing and stimulation. In this review, challenges and governing parameters of body-conformable electronics are first discussed. Thereafter, strategies to achieve body conformability are summarized from three aspects: improving the mechanical compliance of electronics, enhancing bio-electronics…

Mashup Score: 6Living skin on a robot - 1 year(s) ago
By replicating the appearances and functions of human beings, humanoids have the potential to establish harmonic and natural human-robot interactions. Here, we fabricated a three-joint robotic finger covered with living human skin. The robot not only can achieve realistic tone and texture of humans, but it also can be healed by grafting a hydrogel patch onto its wounds, resembling the process of…

Mashup Score: 0Scalable, inexpensive, one-pot, facile synthesis of crystalline two-dimensional birnessite flakes - 2 year(s) ago
Two-dimensional materials are usually prepared using special chemicals and higher temperature processes and/or using hazardous chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid. Herein, we present a near-ambient condition (50° to 80°C), non-toxic, one-pot, cheap, scalable pathway to convert five different water-insoluble, non-layered Mn-containing precursors, viz. Mn3O4, Mn2O3, MnB, Mn5SiB2, and Mn2AlB2, into…

Mashup Score: 2Bioadhesive and conductive hydrogel-integrated brain-machine interfaces for conformal and immune-evasive contact with brain tissue - 2 year(s) ago
We developed a bioadhesive ultrasoft brain-machine interface (BMI) by integrating a conductive hydrogel with flexible microcircuits through an in situ self-setting process. The hydrogel is ultrasoft, achieving mechanical harmony with brain. The hydrogel provides a seamless bridge between rigid microcircuits and soft brain tissue. The hydrogel exhibits immune-evasive capability by combination of…

Mashup Score: 1
A facile strategy is developed for spinning superstrong silk fibers in a metal-ion coagulation bath using regenerated silkworm fibroins. The artificial silkworm silk significantly surpasses natural spider silks in strength and stiffness. High crystallinity and small nano-crystallites formed in the artificial silk fiber as well as the incorporation of Zn2+ metal ions into the fiber may contribute…
