Gel‐Amin for Improving Extracellular Recordings of Cardiomyocytes in a 3D Microphysiological System
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.This work combines a conductive collagen‐based hydrogel with a laser‐cut and assembly technique to fabricate microphysiological systems that improve extracellular recordings of cardiomyocytes in 3D on microelectrode arrays. The inclusion of choline acrylate into GelMA imparts a higher electrical conductivity and improves the signal‐to‐noise ratio of on‐

Chronic Disease Monitoring Using Advanced Compliant Materials for Bioelectronics
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Compliant bioelectronic systems enable continuous monitoring of chronic disease through soft, stretchable materials and tissue‐conformal designs that support stable electrophysiological, mechanical, and biochemical sensing. Integration of diverse sensing modalities with thoughtful material selection, device architectures, and advanced fabrication ...

Putting All One's Eggs in One Basket: Relational Contracts and the Provision of Local Public Services [PDF]
The provision of local public services is increasingly being contracted out to private companies. We observe that local governments regularly choose the same private operator for a range of different services, and develop a model of relational contracts ...

Self‐Adhesive Conductive Elastomers for Gel‐Free Biopotential Recording
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.σPOMaC, a self‐adhesive conductive citrate elastomer incorporating PEDOT:PSS and DBSA, enables gel‐free biopotential electrodes with stable conductivity and intrinsic skin adhesion. The composite exhibits low resistivity (∼ 0.02 Ω·cm), robust electrical performance during repeated use, and reliable on‐body ECG acquisition comparable to Ag/AgCl ...

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.Boron‐oxide‐assisted particle engineering stabilizes O3‐type layered cathodes for sodium‐ion batteries by mitigating phase transitions and lattice strain. Acting as flux and structural modifier, boron forms submicron hexagonal platelets with (003) facets and expanded Na‐layer spacing, enabling rapid Na⁺ diffusion and mechanical resilience.

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.P2‐type sodium layered oxides have potential for high‐voltage operation but suffer from structural instability and capacity fading. This work demonstrates that synergistic Li and Ti co‐doping enhances sodium inventory, suppresses detrimental phase transitions, and activates reversible lattice oxygen redox.

A Context-dependent Service Model
EAI Endorsed Transactions on Context-aware Systems and Applications, 2014 In service-oriented systems a service invariably is bound to a contract. This contract includes the functionalities and quality of services guarantees that the provider can make. But such guarantees are not absolute.
