Reliable and sustainable energy supply remains a critical challenge in wearable and implantable microelectronics. Although hybrid energy strategies show promise, most existing systems rely on stacked, multi-component designs, hindering integration and scalability. Here, a fully printed, monolithically integrated MXene-based system combining active wireless charging and passive energy harvesting is demonstrated. The system features an MXene-printed coil that delivers a stable 3 V wireless output and achieves up to 0.67 mW under self-powered operation. Integrated MXene micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) ensure effective voltage regulation and energy storage. Additionally, an MXene-printed humidity sensor is integrated, highlighting the platform's expandability for real-time sensing. The entire system is fabricated on flexible substrates via a streamlined, room-temperature MXene direct printing process without complex post-processing, providing a compact and scalable energy solution for untethered, self-sustained microelectronics.

Tactile sensors are crucial in robotics and medical diagnostics, requiring precise real-time detection. However, the development of a compact sensor that can measure force across a wide range, with high resolution and rapid response along three axes, remains extremely limited. Herein, an opto-electro-mechanical tactile sensor is reported, utilizing a monolithically integrated GaN-based optochip with a fingerprint-patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film.

The fast crystallization and facile oxidation of Sn of tin-lead (Sn-Pb) perovskites are the biggest challenges for their applications in high-performance near-infrared (NIR) photodetectors and imagers. Here, we introduce a multifunctional diphenyl sulfoxide (DPSO) molecule into perovskite precursor ink to response these issues by revealing its strong binding interactions with the precursor species. The regulated perovskite film exhibits a dense morphology, reduced defect density and prolonged carrier diffusion length.

The burgeoning Internet of Things demands highly customizable microbatteries (MBs) to power miniaturized electronics, yet challenges exist in fabricating ultra-small MBs and integrating customizable modules within confined areas. Herein, we report a novel photolithographic microfabrication strategy enabling the large-scale production of monolithic integrated ultra-small MBs. The approach utilizes photoresist grooves as micropattern templates and employs a non-destructive mechanical peeling process to fabricate precise MBs with a compact area of 2.
