Currently, existing iontronic systems are limited and struggle to process electronic-to-multi-ionic transport, resulting in interchange inefficiencies and incompatibilities between artificial ion devices and biological tissue interfaces. The development of heterogating gel iontronics offers a significant advancement in bridging this gap, drawing inspiration from the complex ionic transmission mechanisms found in biological synapses within neural networks. These heterogating gels utilize a biphasic architecture, where the heterointerface effect constructs ionic transfer energy barriers, enabling distinct signal transmission among different ions.

The wearable contact lens that continuously monitors intraocular pressure (IOP) facilitates prompt and early-state medical treatments of oculopathies such as glaucoma, postoperative myopia, etc. However, either taking drugs for pre-treatment or delaying the treatment process in the absence of a neural feedback component cannot realize accurate diagnosis or effective treatment. Herein, a neuroprosthetic contact lens enabled sensorimotor system is reported, which consists of a smart contact lens with TiCT Wheatstone bridge structured IOP strain sensor, a TiCT temperature sensor and an IOP point-of-care monitoring/display system.

Addressing peripheral nerve disorders with electronic medicine poses significant challenges, especially in replicating the dynamic mechanical properties of nerves and understanding their functionality. In the field of electronic medicine, it is crucial to design a system that thoroughly understands the functions of the nervous system and ensures a stable interface with nervous tissue, facilitating autonomous neural adaptation. Herein, we present a novel neural interface platform that modulates the peripheral nervous system using flexible nerve electrodes and advanced neuromodulation techniques.

We demonstrate an artificially-intelligent cornea that can assume the functions of the native human cornea such as protection, tactile perception, and light refraction, and possesses sensory expansion and interactive functions. These functions are realized by an artificial corneal reflex arc that is constructed to implement mechanical and light information coding, information processing, and the regulation of transmitted light. Digitally-aligned, long and continuous zinc tin oxide (ZTO) semiconductor fabric patterns were fabricated as the active channels of the artificial synapse, which are non-toxic, heavy-metal-free, low-cost, and ensure superior comprehensive optical properties (transmittance >99.

Intuitive and perceptual neuroprosthetic systems require a high degree of neural control and a variety of sensory feedback, but reliable neural interfaces for long-term use that maintain their functionality are limited. Here, a novel hybrid bionic interface is presented, fabricated by integrating a biological interface (regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI)) and a peripheral neural interface to enhance the neural interface performance between a nerve and bionic limbs. This interface utilizes a shape memory polymer buckle that can be easily implanted on a severed nerve and make contact with both the nerve and the muscle graft after RPNI formation.
