The first time Northwestern Engineering’s Jonathan Rivnay appeared as co-author on a published paper – a 2006 piece in the Journal of Applied Physics – bioengineering was not on his mind. That paper, ...

Investigating laser technologies in bioelectronics, this review highlights optical principles that optimize fabrication ...

The scientific community has long been enamored of the potential for soft bioelectronic devices, but has faced hurdles in identifying materials that are biocompatible and have all of the necessary ...

Researchers have 3D printed bioelectronic scaffolds that have the properties cells need to form new tissue. In addition to making gadgets and game pieces, 3D printing is being used in health care to ...

Scientists studying human neural organoids could only record and stimulate activity from limited regions because conventional flat electronics do not conform well to the tissues’ three-dimensional, ...

Ultra-thin crystalline silicon transforms rigid semiconductor wafers into flexible nanomembranes (<100 nm), retaining superior electrical performance while enabling conformal integration with dynamic ...

Wentai Liu is an electronics wizard whose work is enabling the development of devices once found only in the realm of science fiction–miniaturized electronic implants to restore vision, movement, and ...

A team of researchers has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, much like skin, which are essential for the ink to be used in ...

As a wound heals, it goes through several stages: clotting to stop bleeding, immune system response, scabbing, and scarring. A wearable device called "a-Heal," designed by engineers at the University ...

In addition to making gadgets and game pieces, 3D printing is being used in health care to print prosthetics, dental implants and surgical models. Now, a team at Washington University in St. Louis is ...
