A Geometrically Transient Platform for Bioelectronic Implants

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 55, 1 October 2026.
Minimally invasive bioelectronic implants often compromise performance for smaller sizes. To resolve this optimization dilemma, a wireless bioelectronic implant with a transient geometry is introduced (MiFi). The origami‐inspired device miniaturizes up to sixfold for syringe insertion and autonomously unfolds post‐implantation.

Integrated soil–microbe–plant regulation for maize disease control in the black soil of Northeast China

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 541-551, October 2026.
Abstract The black soil region of Northeast China is a critical area for maize production in China. However, the long‐term continuous cropping, coupled with residue‐driven pathogen carryover, soil organic matter depletion, nutrient imbalance, and climate variability, has increased maize vulnerability to diseases.
