Wearable sensor devices are crucial for monitoring physiological states and biochemical markers. A device that combines circuit miniaturization with accurate biochemical monitoring is essential for achieving long-term, continuous physiological tracking without burdening the user. In this paper, we introduce a flexible miniatured wearable device for simultaneous monitoring of sweat pH and lactate. The device is composed of a miniatured wireless flexible printed circuit board (FPCB, 25 mm×11 mm) and a flexible polyaniline (PANI) sensing patch which has good linearity, stability, and ion selectivity. Every component on the FPCB was meticulously selected to achieve a compact form factor, and a guard ring structure was used in the PCB layout to reduce the voltage decrease of the pH sensing patch. The resulting flexible, miniatured, and wearable (FMW) device features a low minimum detection volume threshold (20 μL) making it well-suited for low-volume biofluids such as sweat, which is typically secreted gradually rather than abundantly. Practical applicability was demonstrated through tests on artificial sweat, volunteer sweat, and other samples, confirming the accuracy for non-invasive monitoring. The low-power design enables prolonged operation, supporting continuous use for over 10 days. This FMW system enables for dual sweat biomarker monitoring and holds significant promise for providing user-friendly health assessments.

可穿戴传感器设备对于监测生理状态和生化指标至关重要。将电路小型化与精确的生化监测相结合的设备对于实现长期、连续的生理跟踪而不给用户带来负担至关重要。在本文中，我们介绍了一种灵活的微型可穿戴设备，用于同时监测汗液pH和乳酸。该器件由微型无线柔性印刷电路板（FPCB, 25 mm×11 mm）和柔性聚苯胺（PANI）传感贴片组成，具有良好的线性度、稳定性和离子选择性。FPCB上的每个元件都经过精心选择，以实现紧凑的外形因素，并且在PCB布局中使用保护环结构，以减少pH传感贴片的电压降低。由此产生的柔性，小型化和可穿戴（FMW）设备具有低最小检测体积阈值（20 μL），使其非常适合小体积生物流体，如汗液，这通常是逐渐分泌而不是大量分泌。通过对人工汗液、志愿者汗液等样本的测试，验证了其实用性，证实了其无创监测的准确性。低功耗设计可延长工作时间，支持连续使用10天以上。该FMW系统可实现双汗液生物标志物监测，并有望提供用户友好的健康评估。

A voiceprint-based method was developed for label-free and non-contact identification of Na-alginate microdroplet properties during high-frequency (

\sim

1 kHz) generation using a simple microphone setup. The generation of alginate microdroplets enables mass production in applications such as drug delivery and cell encapsulation, while the monitoring of droplets’ properties remains challenging. Conventional labeling-based or electrical methods can be costly and intrusive. In this study, sounds emitted from a coaxial microfluidic device were analyzed via short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and spectral features were input into a convolutional neural network (CNN) for droplet concentration estimation. Experimental results show that the sound’s spectral energy increased by 1.5 fold as the droplet diameter increased from 60 to 120

m. Changes in Na-alginate concentration from 0.0 to 2.0 wt.% produced systematic shifts in spectral centroid and bandwidth, reflecting variations in droplet viscosity. The CNN model achieved a concentration estimation accuracy with a root mean square error of 0.1 wt.%. These results demonstrate that the proposed voiceprint-based approach provides a simple, accurate, and cost-effective alternative for monitoring microdroplet properties, while its millisecond-level detection speed makes the method practical for rapid microencapsulation and other fast-throughput processes.

利用简单的麦克风设置，开发了一种基于声纹的方法，用于在高频（~ 1 kHz）产生过程中无标签和非接触地鉴定海藻酸钠微滴的性质。海藻酸盐微滴的产生使药物输送和细胞封装等应用的大规模生产成为可能，但对微滴性质的监测仍然具有挑战性。传统的基于标签或电的方法可能是昂贵的和侵入性的。本研究通过短时傅里叶变换（STFT）对同轴微流控装置发出的声音进行分析，并将频谱特征输入卷积神经网络（CNN）进行液滴浓度估计。实验结果表明，当液滴直径从60 μm增加到120 μm时，声谱能量增加了1.5倍，这是由于内部毛细直径从10 μm增加到30 μm所致。海藻酸钠浓度从0.0 wt.%到2.0 wt.%的变化产生了光谱质心和带宽的系统变化，反映了液滴粘度的变化。CNN模型达到了浓度估计精度，均方根误差为0.1 wt.%。这些结果表明，所提出的基于声纹的方法为监测微滴特性提供了一种简单、准确、经济的替代方法，而其毫秒级的检测速度使该方法适用于快速微封装和其他快速吞吐过程。

An increasing number of biomedical applications would benefit to implement printed piezoresistive sensors for improving device performance and sensor integration. In specific, in urinary catheters used to address urinary incontinence and retention, the implementation of piezoresistive sensors would allow to monitor the deformation along the process of insertion, allowing to reduce or even eliminate some of the inconveniences of this type of procedures. This works reports the development of composite inks based on poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PDLG) 50/50 with 2 % of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and the development by spray printing of piezoresistive sensors with two types of geometry: square and zig zag shape. The spray printed sensors demonstrate a Gauge factor in the range 0.8–1.2 for the zig-zag geometry and 0.3–1.1 for the rectangular geometry. A theoretical study was performed to evaluate the stress on the piezoresistive sensors and predict the mechanical behavior of the developed geometries proving that, when strain is applied in the longitudinal way, the rectangular geometry presented double the stress value in relation to the zig zag one. Finally, the zig zag geometry was selected for a proof of concept using a KUKA LBR iiwa 7R800 robot, proving the suitability of the developed sensors for applications. Overall, this work demonstrates that the implementation of piezoresistive sensors based on natural polymers in a zig zag geometry is a suitable approach for urinary catheter deformation monitoring.

越来越多的生物医学应用将有利于实现印刷压阻传感器，以提高设备性能和传感器集成。具体来说，在用于解决尿失禁和尿潴留的导尿管中，压阻式传感器的实施将允许监测插入过程中的变形，从而减少甚至消除此类手术的一些不便。本文报道了基于聚（D， l -丙交酯-羟基乙醇酸酯）（PDLG） 50/50和2 %多壁碳纳米管的复合油墨的发展，以及通过喷涂打印具有两种几何形状的压阻传感器的发展：正方形和之字形。喷印传感器的测量系数范围为0.8-1.2 之字形几何形状和0.3-1.1 矩形几何形状。通过理论研究，对压阻式传感器的应力进行了评估，并预测了所开发几何形状的力学行为，证明了当应变以纵向方式施加时，矩形几何形状的应力值是之字形几何形状的两倍。最后，使用库卡LBR iiwa 7R800机器人选择之字形几何形状进行概念验证，证明开发的传感器适用于应用。总的来说，这项工作表明，基于天然聚合物的z形几何压阻传感器的实现是一种适用于导尿管变形监测的方法。

Paraffin-based microactuators show great potential in the field of phase change materials actuators owing to their high mechanical work capacity and large thermal expansion. In recent years, researchers have directed efforts toward enhancing the response times of these systems, by mixing paraffin with thermal conductivity enhancers or by optimizing their designs. However, no previous research has focused on improving the cooling time of a paraffin actuator, which is essential for ensuring faster cyclic performance and adaptable thermal control in environments where temperature fluctuates. In this study, we present the first miniaturized thermoelectric cooler (µTEC)-paraffin-based actuator. This design utilizes the µTEC to control the phase change of paraffin, by heating or cooling it on demand. Furthermore, we investigated the use of graphene nano-platelets (GnPs) as a thermal conductivity enhancer and its effect on design performance. The system featured an aluminum cavity filled with a paraffin composite formulation, a µTEC device and a copper heat sink. The results showed that the presence of a µTEC could enable not only cyclic actuation, but also reduced the actuator reset time to approximately 20 % of the original duration. The device also demonstrated a peak work density and efficiency around 25.6 kJ/m³ and 17.8 × 10⁻⁶, respectively. These results place our actuator system among the highest-performing flexible membrane-based paraffin microactuators reported in the literature with the additional benefit of controlled and fast cooling.

石蜡基微致动器具有机械功容量大、热膨胀大等优点，在相变材料致动器领域具有很大的发展潜力。近年来，研究人员一直致力于通过将石蜡与导热增强剂混合或优化设计来提高这些系统的响应时间。然而，之前没有研究关注于提高石蜡致动器的冷却时间，这对于确保在温度波动的环境中更快的循环性能和适应性热控制至关重要。在这项研究中，我们提出了第一个小型化热电冷却器（µTEC）-石蜡基致动器。该设计利用µTEC控制石蜡的相变，根据需要加热或冷却石蜡。此外，我们还研究了石墨烯纳米片（GnPs）作为导热增强剂的使用及其对设计性能的影响。该系统的特点是一个铝腔填充石蜡复合配方，一个µTEC装置和一个铜散热器。结果表明，µTEC的存在不仅可以实现循环驱动，还可以将执行器复位时间减少到原始持续时间的约20% %。该器件的峰值工作密度和效率分别约为25.6 kJ/m3和17.8 × 10−6。这些结果使我们的致动器系统在文献中报道的性能最高的柔性膜基石蜡微致动器中具有控制和快速冷却的额外好处。

Conventionally pristine conducting polymer-based thin film transistors (TFTs) are used for sensing applications, but sensitivity is limited. In this article, the composite of conductive polymer and quantum dots is exploited for the improvement in the sensitivity towards ammonia. Poly[2,5-bis(3-tetradecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene] (PBTTT-C14) or a simple PBTTT solution is mixed with as-synthesized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) solution for the preparation of PBTTT-GQDs composite. Unidirectional floating-film transfer method (UFTM) deposited PBTTT- GQDs composite on a Si/SiO₂ substrate-based TFT is fabricated. The fabricated PBTTT-GQDs composite-based TFT provides performance enhancement due to the self-assembled and oriented film by the UFTM technique, as well as the incorporation of GQDs in the polymer framework. The PBTTT-GQDs composite-based TFT has achieved higher field effect mobility as well as gas response up to ∼84.2 % for 25 ppm of ammonia. The composite-based ammonia sensor also exhibits improvement in detection limit and response/recovery time.

Against the backdrop of the global low-carbon energy transition, the Photothermoelectric Effect has garnered considerable attention as an efficient route for light-to-electricity conversion. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) stand out as potential substrates for photothermoelectric thin films, owing to their broad-spectrum light absorption and exceptional electrical properties. Nevertheless, they are hindered by inherent bottlenecks: insufficient light absorption intensity and excessively high thermal conductivity, which impede the maintenance of temperature differences. In this study, a silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs)-decorated CNT composite thin film (CNT@Ag) was constructed. The photothermal properties of the CNT@Ag film were 57 % higher than those of the Raw CNT as the local irradiation was applied. Furthermore, the composite film achieved a photovoltage of 0.2 mV, 2.86 times that of the Raw CNT. Current-voltage profiles, position-sensitive photovoltage, and synchronized thermal-voltage data verify that the electrical signal originates from the PTE effect. This research deepens the understanding of the PTE effect mechanism dominated by metal/carbon nanotube heterojunctions and provides a basis for the design of high-performance light energy conversion materials and the material development of intelligent sensing devices.

在全球低碳能源转型的背景下，光热电效应作为光-电转换的有效途径受到了广泛关注。单壁碳纳米管（CNTs）由于其广谱光吸收和特殊的电学性能而成为光热电薄膜的潜在衬底。然而，它们受到固有瓶颈的阻碍：光吸收强度不足和过高的热导率，这阻碍了温差的维持。在本研究中，构建了银纳米粒子（Ag NPs）修饰的碳纳米管复合薄膜（CNT@Ag）。在局部辐照下，CNT@Ag薄膜的光热性能比原始碳纳米管高57 %。此外，复合薄膜的光电压达到0.2 mV，是原始碳纳米管的2.86倍。电流电压曲线、位置敏感光电压和同步热电压数据验证了电信号源于PTE效应。本研究加深了对以金属/碳纳米管异质结为主的PTE效应机理的认识，为高性能光能转换材料的设计和智能传感器件的材料开发提供了依据。

Using ferrofluids as smart materials in micromixers for achieving homogeneous mixing can be taken into account as a promising tool for improving the total efficiency of microfluidic platforms. A wide range of scenarios for employing the ferrofluid, as a miscible stream with reactants, have been explored to enhance mixing. However, the function of the ferrofluid as an immiscible agent in mixing is overlooked. Therefore, in this study, for the first time, the effect of oscillating a train of ferrofluid droplets as a controllable and on-demand actuator for ameliorating mass transfer in a 3D-printed micromixer is experimentally investigated. Another motivation for conducting this study is to meet the request of mixing two miscible fluids with the help of ferrofluid droplets as immiscible actuators in less contact with the biological reactant along with less impact on the final properties of the product. The movement of these magnetized droplets across to the flow direction becomes possible by a linear-moving magnet. By adjusting the influencing parameters including miscible fluids and ferrofluid flow rates, magnet movement frequency, magnet diameter, displacement amplitude, and the number of magnets the harmonic oscillations of bio-compatible ferrofluid droplets are comprehensively surveyed. The results show that by switching the magnetic system from off to on, the mixing index in the best case increases from 0.21 to 0.89. Thanks to the controllability of ferrofluid droplets, this novel idea offers an effective solution to intensify microfluidic mixing efficiency and can pave the way for other biomedicine and engineering applications.

在微混合器中使用铁磁流体作为智能材料来实现均匀混合，是提高微流控平台总效率的一种有前途的工具。铁磁流体作为一种与反应物混相的流体，已经被广泛地应用于各种场景中，以加强混合。然而，铁磁流体作为一种非混相剂在混合中的作用却被忽视了。因此，在本研究中，首次实验研究了在3d打印微混合器中振荡铁磁流体液滴作为可控按需执行器改善传质的效果。进行这项研究的另一个动机是为了满足混合两种可混相流体的要求，借助铁磁流体液滴作为不混相执行器，在与生物反应物接触较少的情况下，对产品的最终性能影响较小。这些被磁化的液滴通过线性移动的磁铁向流动方向移动成为可能。通过调整混相流体和铁磁流体流速、磁体运动频率、磁体直径、位移幅值和磁体数量等影响参数，对生物相容性铁磁流体液滴的谐波振荡进行了全面研究。结果表明，通过将磁性系统由关转通，混合指数由0.21提高到0.89。由于铁磁流体液滴的可控性，这一新颖的想法为增强微流体混合效率提供了有效的解决方案，并为其他生物医学和工程应用铺平了道路。

Understanding the connectivity between deep brain structures and the cerebral cortex is crucial for unraveling complex brain functions. However, existing neural interfaces are mostly limited to studying connections within either deep brain regions or the cortex. Herein, we present a flexible modular neural interface in which multiple modules comprising a flexible neural probe, an optical fiber, and a micro-needle for drug delivery can be integrated. This enables precise stimulation of various deep brain regions and simultaneous cortical signal measurements in response to various stimuli. The system enables the flexible positioning of modules at different depths, thereby supporting EEG signal recording and providing versatile targeting and modulation of neural circuits. The interface facilitates detailed investigations into functional connectivity by enabling localized stimulation while capturing neural activity from both deep brain structures and cortical areas. The results of validation experiments indicate that the system effectively induced epileptic-like signals in the cortex of anesthetized mice through deep brain stimulation and enabled measurement thereof. In addition, localized intracerebral drug delivery produces clear modulation of cortical EEG signals, demonstrating effective multimodal integration under physiological conditions. This adaptable modular design offers significant potential for expanding research into neural mechanisms and probing interactions between deep brain structures and the cortex with high precision.

In this paper, a magnetoresistive (MR) sensor implemented with a single MR element, instead of the usual bridge configuration, has been developed for alternating (AC) current measurement, including the design of its low-noise signal conditioning circuit. The sensor is based on a tunneling magnetoresistive effect (TMR) and is placed on a copper bar carrying the high current under measurement. The circuit incorporates a voltage-to-current (v-i) driver to bias the MR element, as well as a lock-in amplifier for extracting the sensor signal with improved signal-to-noise ratio. The v-i driver is based on a full Wilson current mirror with emitter degeneration, which also compensates the sensor output at zero current (offset). A lock-in amplifier is added to extract small sensor signals from noise by synchronous detection, enabling precise measurement of sensor resistance variations. The v-i driver was analysed to evaluate the accuracy of the mirror current under realistic transistor mismatch conditions, and the boundary design conditions for its operation as a current mirror were established both by simulation and experimentally. The design and analysis of the proposed circuit are verified experimentally with a MR element submitted up to 125 A at 50 Hz, analysing immunity to interferences.

In this study, we developed a force sensor utilizing the inverse magnetostrictive effect. The sensor architecture mainly comprised Galfenol alloy (Fe₈₃Ga₁₇) wires, neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets, and a Hall sensor. A theoretical model was constructed to characterize force and stiffness. Through finite element simulations, the optimal bias magnetic field was identified, and the dimensions and spatial arrangement of the permanent magnets were optimized. The optimal magnet configuration, combined with a meticulously designed second-order low-pass filter circuit, significantly improved the stability of the output signal while effectively suppressing fluctuations and noise. Systematic evaluations of the critical sensor parameters were conducted, demonstrating a force sensitivity of 33.4 mV/N, a resolution better than 0.1 N, a measurement range of 0–5 N, and rise/fall times of 12/18 ms. The feasibility of the sensor was verified for application in material stiffness characterization and surface topography measurement.
