Microsupercapacitors (MSCs) have emerged as promising miniaturized energy-storage devices for self-powered electronics. However, their practical adoption is hindered by insufficient energy density, poor stability, and short lifespan, necessitating solutions for improved practicability. Herein, we report a novel microwire embedded NiSe/MoSe (NMS) heterostructure MSC that addresses these challenges through photoenhanced energy storage. The device showcases a remarkable performance with a volumetric capacitance of ∼1014 F cm, an energy density of ∼140 mWh cm, and a power density of ∼1.6 W cm. Density functional theory calculations reveal 33-fold higher quantum capacitance and 16-fold lower OH ion adsorption energy compared to pristine monometallic counterparts. Notably, the device powers a red light-emitting diode for 3 min after 1 min of charging, supports a healthcare monitoring device for up to 6 h, and retains ∼100% capacitance over 60000 cycles with 95% Columbic efficiency. Overall, this strategy offers a viable pathway to improve the MSC performance for next-generation microelectronics and biomedical applications.

This paper describes the use of PolyJet 3D printing to fabricate microchip electrophoresis devices with integrated microwire electrodes for amperometric detection. The fabrication process involves 3D printing of two separate pieces, a channel layer and an electrode layer. The channel layer is created by 3D printing on a pre-fabricated mold with a T-intersection.

Composite materials are frequently exposed to external factors during their operational service, resulting in internal structural damage which subsequently impacts their structural performance. This paper employs ferromagnetic materials for their sensitivity to magnetic field strength. By detecting variations in the magnetic field within the embedded ferromagnetic microwires of composite materials, the aim is to indirectly assess the health status of the composite materials.

The successful translation of organ-on-a-chip devices requires the development of an automated workflow for device fabrication, which is challenged by the need for precise deposition of multiple classes of materials in micro-meter scaled configurations. Many current heart-on-a-chip devices are produced manually, requiring the expertise and dexterity of skilled operators. Here, we devised an automated and scalable fabrication method to engineer a Biowire II multiwell platform to generate human iPSC-derived cardiac tissues.
