In the latest issue of the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, Professor Jiankang He and his team from Xi'an Jiaotong University introduce new frontiers for the regeneration and functionality enhancement of excitable tissues by integrating bioelectronics with bioengineered constructs.

Their work not only deepens our understanding of the role of electrical microenvironments in tissue development but also sets forth critical design principles for creating bioelectronic-tissue construct hybrids. These advancements hold transformative potential for repairing and restoring damaged excitable tissues such as cardiac, neural, and muscle tissues.

How are nanogenerators transforming the capabilities of intelligent robotics?

Reasearchers from Tsinghua University showcase how triboelectric and piezoelectric nanogenerators support robot autonomy and operational efficiency by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Their work contributes to the integration of self-powered sensing with AI and IoT, with potential applications in healthcare, smart homes, and industrial automation.
