Article Synopsis
- Bioelectronic implants with soft mechanics and high biocompatibility show great promise for improving medical technologies by recording signals and providing treatments directly in the body.
- Despite their potential, they still face challenges like high impedance at the bioelectronic-tissue interface, which affects their performance.
- The introduction of OBXene, a new material with low impedance and piezoelectric properties, has led to the development of a cardiac patch that enables advanced heart mapping and pacing in animal models while being wireless and battery-free for long-term use.
