I am thrilled to share our work *Imperceptible augmentation of living systems with organic bioelectronic fibres*, just published in #NatureElectronics. Massive thanks to Wenyu (Andy) Wang, Yifei Pan, Iek Man Lei, Tawfique Hasan, George Malliaras at Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, and many others working together on this project! We developed a new #biofabrication method, 'Orbital Spinning' to make adaptive and eco-friendly sensors that can be directly and imperceptibly printed onto a wide range of biological surfaces, whether that’s a finger or a flower petal. The fibres, at least 50 times smaller than a human hair, is spun to follow the anatomy of different shapes, at both the micro and macro scale, without the need for image recognition. Such 'Physically Intelligent' biofabrication technique opens up a whole different angle in terms of how sustainable electronics and sensors can be made and upgraded, anywhere and anytime without centralised facilities. This work is part of our vision/ Perspective on how biofabrication could contribute to Sustainable #Bioelectronics, #ETextiles and #EngineeringBiology.

Want to know how texture analysis is developing smart skins for high precision health diagnostics? Researchers at the University of Sussex have been developing assembled piezoresistive networks of sustainable graphene microcapsules to create these smart skins, which are a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic-based epidermalelectronics with a lower environmental impact. By embedding these microcapsules within a flexible polymer matrix, the team was able to create a highly sensitive and versatile material. The Texture Analyser was used to measure the mechanical properties of the smart skins, such as their elasticity and toughness. The results of the study demonstrate the potential of these smart skins for various applications in health diagnostics, highlighting their ability to detect subtle changes in pressure and strain.

Our recent research work, "Covalently Merging Ionic Liquids and Conjugated Polymers: A Molecular Design Strategy for Green Solvent-Processable Mixed Ion–Electron Conductors Toward High-Performing Chemical Sensors," has been published as a cover article in Advanced Functional Materials. This work presents polymeric mixed ionic–electronic conductors, consisting of charged monomers with ionic liquid-like pendant groups, which not only exhibit solubility in environmentally friendly solvents but also demonstrate long-term stability against humidity, high temperatures, and mechanical deformation. The immobilized ion species foster highly selective interactions of these polymers with nitrogen dioxide, paving the way for the development of stretchable sensing devices capable of functioning at exceptionally high temperatures.
