are effectively patterned on an elastomeric substrate. A 3cm cable of ten gold wires with 10μm width and 20μm pitch is achieved, successfully demonstrating density increases of more than one order of magnitude from previously established work. Many applications in the fields of stretchable electronics and conformable neural interfaces will benefit from these fabrication developments.

A series of novel chain-extended polyurethanes (CEPUs) featuring degradable sulfonyl ethyl urethane chain-extenders that permit degradation under base-triggered conditions to afford "debond-on-demand" elastomeric adhesives are reported. Exposure of the CEPUs to -butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) triggered the degradation of the sulfonyl ethyl urethane chain-extenders. Lap shear adhesion tests of the CEPUs exposed to TBAF revealed reductions in shear strength of up to 65% for both aluminum and glass substrates, from 2.

Biological processes are inherently dynamic, necessitating biomaterial platforms capable of spatiotemporal control over cellular organization and matrix stiffness for accurate study of tissue development, wound healing, and disease. However, most in vitro platforms remain static. In this study, a dynamic biomaterial platform comprising a stiffening hydrogel is introduced and achieved through a stepwise approach of addition followed by light-mediated crosslinking, integrated with an elastomeric substrate featuring strain-responsive lamellar surface patterns.

Rapid prototyping has produced accessible manufacturing methods that offer faster and more cost-effective ways to develop microscale systems for cellular testing. Commercial 3D printers are now increasingly adapted for soft lithography, where elastomers are used in tandem with 3D-printed substrates to produce in vitro cell assays. Newfound abilities to prototype cellular systems have begun to expand fundamental bioengineering research in the visual system to complement tissue engineering studies reliant upon complex microtechnology.

To enable the development of artificial intelligence of things, the improvement of the strain sensing mechanisms and optimization of the interconnections are needed. Direct laser writing to obtain laser-induced graphene (LIG) is being studied as a promising technique for producing wearable, lightweight, highly sensitive, and reliable strain sensors. These devices show a higher degree of flexibility and stretchability when transferred to an elastomeric substrate.
