Applied bioelectronic interfaces have an enormous potential for their application in personalized medicine and brain-machine interfaces. While significant progress has been made in the translational applications, there are still concerns about the safety and compliance of artificial devices interacting with cells and tissues. Applying biomimetic design principles enables developing new devices with improved properties in terms of their signal transduction efficiency and biocompatibility. Learning from the paradigms of biological architecture, we can define four cornerstones of biomimetics, which can guide designing new bioelectronic devices or providing improved solutions to challenging biomedical problems. Recent progress shows how these paradigms were successfully employed, for example, to create neuron-like electronics and assemble electronic materials in situ onto the cell membranes using genetic targeting.

Nature-inspired superhydrophobic materials have attracted considerable interest in blood-contacting biomedical applications due to their remarkable water-repellent and self-cleaning properties. However, the interaction mechanism between blood components and superhydrophobic surfaces remains unclear. To explore the effect of trapped air on platelet adhesion, we designed four distinct hydrophobic titanium dioxide (TiO) nanostructures with different fractions of trapped air.

Effective heat management is critical for improving energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. Passive radiative heat management systems rely on specific materials and design configurations to naturally modulate temperature, enhance system reliability, and decrease operational costs by modulating infrared light. However, their static nature proves insufficient in dynamic settings experiencing significant temperature fluctuations.

Lightweight and robust self-powered wearable devices are of great importance in rehabilitation and medical assistance, but this places greater demands on the development of functional materials. In particular, a balance between reducing the weight of materials and enhancing their mechanical performance is urgently needed. Here, this study reports a design strategy based on a cross-scale strengthening mechanism, which endows triboelectric materials with mechanically robust properties, and can withstand more than 16,600 times its weight without any deformation.

Hydrogel-based soft machines are promising in diverse applications, such as biomedical electronics and soft robotics. However, current fabrication techniques generally struggle to construct multimaterial three-dimensional hydrogel architectures for soft machines and robots, owing to the inherent hydrogel softness from the low-density polymer network nature. Herein, we present a multimaterial cryogenic printing (MCP) technique that can fabricate sophisticated soft hydrogel machines with accurate yet complex architectures and robust multimaterial interfaces.

Owing to the excellent stability, anticancer activity and immunogenicity, peroxynitrite (ONOO) has been gained enormous interests in cancer therapy. Nevertheless, precise delivery and control release of ONOO in tumors remains a big challenge. Herein, B16F10 cancer cell membrane/liposome hybrid membrane (CM-Lip) based biomimetic nanodrug with high-efficient tumor-homing and NIR-II laser controlled ONOO boost properties was designed for melanoma treatment.
