Gaining better understanding of the human brain using chip‐based devices and promoting the recovery of lost biological functionality through implants are long pursued endeavors driven by advances in material science, bioelectronics, and the advancing silicon technology. While conventional bioelectronic and neuroelectronic devices typically rely on cleanroom‐based processing, a rapid prototyping technique is proposed that is based on high‐resolution inkjet printing featuring nanoporous carbon electrodes that yield excellent cell–chip coupling. This study aims to overcome two major limitations of conventional approaches that make the development of neuroelectronic devices very challenging and limit a wider use within the research community as well as industry: high costs and lack of rapid prototyping capabilities. These challenges are addressed with an all‐printed, high‐resolution approach that makes use of flexible polymer substrates and is fabricated on a fully digital printing platform. The manufacturing of a chip consumes less than 60 min and costs a few cents per chip. This study introduces nanoporous carbon as a cell‐interfacing electrode material that features outstanding properties for extracellular recording of action potentials and stimulation indicating that the printed carbon chips have the means to be used as a versatile neuroelectronic tool for in vitro and in vivo studies.

“…Nevertheless, these techniques require specialised equipment and are not easily scaled up to large area fabrication. Solution based processes such as spin coating [193], spray coating [337], electrospinning [147], roll-to-roll printing [338], inkjet printing [137,339,340], dispenser printing [341], and screen printing [337,342], offer an easier approach for the deposition of films on large area flexible substrates. In addition, these techniques are mostly applied at low temperatures, making them compatible with substrates that require a low thermal budget.…”

Flexible sensors have the potential to be seamlessly applied to soft and irregularly shaped surfaces such as the human skin or textile fabrics. This benefits conformability dependant applications including smart tattoos, artificial skins and soft robotics. Consequently, materials and structures for innovative flexible sensors, as well as their integration into systems, continue to be in the spotlight of research. This review outlines the current state of flexible sensor technologies and the impact of material developments on this field. Special attention is given to strain, temperature, chemical, light and electropotential sensors, as well as their respective applications.

“…ECG is the best way to measure heart rhythms and has been widely used for diagnosing heart disease . EMG can record the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles, which can be used to diagnose neuromuscular diseases and control prosthetic devices . In addition, EEG can monitor the electrical activity of the brain and can be used to diagnose brain diseases (eg, epilepsy, sleep disorders) …”

Skin, the largest organ in the human body, is sensitive to external stimuli.In recent years, an increasing number of skin-inspired electronics, including wearable electronics, implantable electronics, and electronic skin, have been developed because of their broad applications in healthcare and robotics.Physical sensors are one of the key building blocks of skin-inspired electronics. Typical physical sensors include mechanical sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, electrophysiological sensors, and so on. In this review, we systematically review the latest advances of skin-inspired mechanical sensors, temperature sensors, and humidity sensors. The working mechanisms, key materials, device structures, and performance of various physical sensors are summarized and discussed in detail. Their applications in health monitoring, human disease diagnosis and treatment, and intelligent robots are reviewed. In addition, several novel properties of skin-inspired physical sensors such as versatility, self-healability, and implantability are introduced. Finally, the existing challenges and future perspectives of physical sensors for practical applications are discussed and proposed.
