Integration of Soft Electronics and Biotissues

The integration of biotissues and electronics
The collection of physiological signals as well as the electrical stimulation to the biotissues are significant but challenging. There is a huge gap between the living systems and electronics. Biotissues are wet and soft, while electronics are dry and relatively stiff; biotissues conduct ions, while electronic materials often conduct electrons. As a result, forming a stable interface for bidirectional electrical communications between electronics and the living systems is required. In this perspective, we review recent landmark progresses made in this field, and propose a few future directions that scientists may further work on.
