An Innervated Human Skin Equivalent that Electrically Encodes Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli
An innervated human skin equivalent is integrated with high‐density microelectrode arrays to reveal how engineered free nerve ending–like structures translate touch and temperature into electrical codes. Mechanical indentation and thermal stimulation engage the engineered somatosensory circuitry and evoke distinct firing and waveform signatures ...

Monolayer MoS2 With Ultrahigh Piezoelectricity: From ALD Dose Control to Device Performance
This study demonstrates that controlling precursor dosages in atomic layer deposition (ALD) serves to regulate ultrathin oxide quality, which in turn determines sulfurization behavior and MoS2 monolayer continuity. The resulting continuous, low‐defect monolayers enable improved piezoelectric performance and support a flexible slippage sensor, linking ...
