“…This gap in the field could be addressed in the interim by flexible artificial sensory bioelectronic tools, which have been described in a recent review. [50] Closed-loop wireless neuromodulation via abiotic materials and tools are already significantly well developed, as compared to their biological counterparts, [51] and could be used in the place of, or in synchrony with, biological control mechanisms in the future.…”

Movement is central to life. Neuromuscular tissues control voluntary movement in humans and many other living creatures, offering significant advantages in adaptability and robustness as compared to abiotic actuators. The impressive functional capabilities of neuromuscular tissues have inspired researchers to attempt de novo synthesis of the biological motor system via tissue engineering. This article highlights key recent advances in tissue engineering skeletal muscle and discusses promising strategies to control engineered muscle via biological neural networks and abiotic soft electronic interfaces. Challenges associated with cell sourcing, biomaterials design, and scalable precision manufacturing, along with emerging strategies to address those challenges, are presented. Finally, we highlight how engineered neuromuscular tissues have enabled studying, controlling, and deploying them as actuators in a range of real-world applications including drug discovery, regenerative medicine, cellular agriculture, and soft robotics.
“…Recently, memristors have emerged as promising contenders for next-generation high-capacity information storage and computing systems, attributing to their advantages of fast data transfer rate, short access time, low power consumption, and the compatibility with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. More importantly, they have exhibited great potential in the applications of nonvolatile memory, logic computing and brain-inspired neuromorphic hardware [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. These three interrelated technologies provide a feasible route for developing a novel in-memory computing architecture that integrates information storage and processing in one system [12,13], which can break through the existing von Neumann bottleneck and memory wall of traditional computing systems.…”
Memristors have recently emerged as promising contenders for in-memory computing and artificial neural networks, attributed to their analogies to biological synapses and neurons in structural and electrical behaviors. From the diversity level, a variety of materials have been demonstrated to have great potential for memristor applications. Herein, we focus on one class of crystalline materials (CMs)-based flexible memristors with state-of-the-art experimental demonstrations. Firstly, the typical device structure and switching mechanisms are introduced. Secondly, the recent advances on CMs-based flexible memristors, including 2D materials, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, and perovskites, as well as their applications for data storage and neuromorphic devices are comprehensively summarized. Finally, the future challenges and perspectives of CMs-based flexible memristors are presented.
