Additively Manufactured Diamond for Energy Scavenging and Wireless Power Transfer in Implantable Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing is expanding beyond mechanical prosthetics into microelectronic implants. This work presents a diamond‐titanium hybrid that enables wireless power transfer, localized heating, and flow sensing. The use of additive manufacturing combined with the biocompatibility of the diamond‐titanium hybrid material paves the way toward new ...

Programmable Compliance in Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts by Design of Melt‐Electrowritten Scaffold Architectures for In Situ Tissue Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Small‐diameter vascular grafts with compliance tunable by design are fabricated via melt electrowriting. By controlling the winding angle of intertwined helical fibers, grafts with compliances matching those of human vessels, from veins to arteries, are realized. This holds the potential of avoiding a compliance mismatch, which has been identified as a
