The article discusses the development of high-density soft bioelectronic fibers capable of multimodal sensing and stimulation, advancing neural interface technology and biomedical applications.
Scientists at Rice University have developed a new two-dimensional carbon material called monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC), which is eight times tougher than graphene due to its unique combination of crystalline and disordered regions, offering promising applications in flexible electronics and durable devices.
Researchers at the University of Vienna have made a breakthrough in enhancing the stretchability of graphene by rippling it like an accordion, which could lead to advances in flexible electronics. This discovery was facilitated by ultra-clean, air-free measurements that revealed the 'accordion effect,' where corrugations in the material significantly reduce the force needed to stretch it, overcoming previous contradictions about graphene's stiffness.
Researchers at the University of California, Merced, have developed a conductive polymer film that toughens up upon impact, similar to the behavior of "oobleck," a non-Newtonian fluid. The material, made by combining long spaghetti-like polymers with shorter molecules, deforms and stretches in response to impact without breaking apart. This "adaptive durability" could be applied to wearable electronics and flexible health monitoring devices, with potential for 3D printing compatibility.
