By investigating auditory hyperexcitability in a mouse model for hereditary deafness, this study identified a subpopulation of afferent neurons of the auditory nerve marked by Otogl expression. Despite their apparently normal hearing, Otogl+/− mice display poor activation of afferent neurons processing loud sounds and an elevation of the middle the ear

Simultaneous Detection of Neural Activity and Temperature in Photothermal Neural Stimulation
Photothermal neuromodulation technology faces limitations in understanding its mechanisms and effects on cellular behavior due to the difficulty of directly measuring temperature changes at the cell interface during optical stimulation of neurons. To overcome this challenge, ultrasensitive, transparent temperature sensors integrated with low‐noise ...

This work demonstrates the first chipless temperature sensing array based on conductor‐loaded composites. They allow multiple items to be simultaneously identified and monitored through multiplexed electromagnetic reflections. The work studies the influence of conductive fillers on the frequency‐domain properties of PDMS, for the first time.

Electrostatically Reinforced Double Network Granular Hydrogels
Electrostatically reinforced double network granular hydrogels (DNGHs) with cartilage‐like fracture energy are introduced. An empirical model predicts the composition‐dependent fracture energy based on dissipation zone size, contact area, and inter‐particle adhesion energy. Thanks to their granular structure and the inter‐particle attraction, the DNGHs

This study presents an ionic conductive hydrogel (ICH) with excellent conductivity, self‐healing, self‐adhesion, and long‐term stability under extreme cold conditions. It shows significant potential for non‐invasive, continuous health monitoring, conformally adhering to skin without signal crosstalk, enabling real‐time, high‐fidelity signal ...
