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, ...

Bringing together soft, malleable living cells with hard, inflexible electronics can be a difficult task. UChicago researchers have developed a new method to face this challenge by utilizing ...

Bioelectronic devices play a key role in medicine. Not only do they help with the health diagnostic process by sensing chemical biomarkers and brain or heart activity to measure pathology, but they ...

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 ...

Implantable bioelectronics are now often key in assisting or monitoring the heart, brain, and other vital organs, but they often lack a safe, reliable way of transmitting their data to doctors. Now ...

The emergence of ultra-thin crystalline silicon fundamentally changes this perspective. When thinned down to the nanoscale, ...

A study led by Dartmouth Engineering professors demonstrates a possible new technique for connecting electronic implants with ...

Flexible electronics have enabled the design of sensors, actuators, microfluidics and electronics on flexible, conformal and/or stretchable sublayers for wearable, implantable or ingestible ...

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 ...
