Improved Direct Ink Writing of Liquid Metal Foams via Liquid Additives
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.The ability to pattern liquid metal is useful for making soft electrical and thermal devices. Dispensing liquid metal from a nozzle naturally results in the formation of spheroidal droplets, making direct‐write printing challenging. Liquid metal foams containing pockets of air can extrude as filaments, albeit inconsistently.

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‐
