The first time Northwestern Engineering’s Jonathan Rivnay appeared as co-author on a published paper – a 2006 piece in the Journal of Applied Physics – bioengineering was not on his mind. That paper, ...

The scientific community has long been enamored of the potential for soft bioelectronic devices, but has faced hurdles in identifying materials that are biocompatible and have all of the necessary ...

Investigating laser technologies in bioelectronics, this review highlights optical principles that optimize fabrication ...

Researchers have 3D printed bioelectronic scaffolds that have the properties cells need to form new tissue. In addition to making gadgets and game pieces, 3D printing is being used in health care to ...

Flexible electronics have enabled the design of sensors, actuators, microfluidics and electronics on flexible, conformal and/or stretchable sublayers for wearable, implantable or ingestible ...

Wentai Liu is an electronics wizard whose work is enabling the development of devices once found only in the realm of science fiction–miniaturized electronic implants to restore vision, movement, and ...

Ultra-thin crystalline silicon transforms rigid semiconductor wafers into flexible nanomembranes (<100 nm), retaining superior electrical performance while enabling conformal integration with dynamic ...

As a wound heals, it goes through several stages: clotting to stop bleeding, immune system response, scabbing, and scarring. A wearable device called "a-Heal," designed by engineers at the University ...

A postdoctoral position is currently available in the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Rivnay at Northwestern University, Department of Biomedical Engineering, to develop biomedical devices that utilize ...

A team of researchers has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, much like skin, which are essential for the ink to be used in ...
