Wearable Morphology‐Adaptive in‐Ear Device With Active Cleansing Capability for Multimodal Health Monitoring

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present SCIENCE, an in‐ear multimodal physiological monitor featuring two key innovations. Water‐triggered morphological expansion (a 2‐mm cylinder to a 9‐mm spindle) achieves conformal adaptation across complex canal geometries. Simultaneously, active biofouling mitigation disrupts cerumen barriers, reducing sensor‐skin impedance by 20%.

Acoustic jet based on acoustic metamaterial

, 2021
In this paper, a novel gradient index (GRIN) acoustic metamaterial is proposed based on the concept of optical modified generalized Luneburg lens (MGLL). With the MGLL, double-foci and high energy density between the two foci can be achieved, which enables the realization of an ultra-long acoustic jet between the two foci.
