The prospective of using direct‐write printing techniques for the manufacture of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) has made these techniques highly attractive. OPVs have the potential to revolutionize small‐scale portable electronic applications by directly providing electric power to the systems. However, no route is available for monolithically integrating the energy‐harvesting units into a system in which other components, such as transistors, sensors, or displays, are already fabricated. Here, th

With the outbreak of new respiratory viruses and high mortality rates of pulmonary diseases, physiologically relevant models of human respiratory system are urgently needed to study disease pathogenesis, drug efficacy, and pharmaceutics. In this paper, a 3D alveolar barrier model fabricated by printing four human alveolar cell lines, namely, type I and II alveolar cells (NCI-H1703 and NCI-H441), lung fibroblasts (MRC5), and lung microvascular endothelial cells (HULEC-5a) is presented. Automated

Here, a new bioprinting process by combining drop-on-demand inkjet printing with a spray-coating technique, which enables the high-resolution, high-speed, and freeform fabrication of large-scale cell-laden hydrogel structures is reported. Hydrogel structures with various shapes and composed of different materials, including alginate, cellulose nanofiber, and fibrinogen, are fabricated using the inkjet-spray printing. To manufacture cell-friendly hydrogel structures with controllable stiffness, g

High-speed imaging has been used to analyse the impact and spreading of sub-30 μm drops of Newtonian fluids (diethyl phthalate and glycerol–water mixture) on smooth glass surfaces with controlled wettabilities at velocities from 3 to 8 m s−1. Data on drop height and spreading diameter were generated with high time and spatial resolution, over eight orders of magnitude in time scale. During the initial kinematic phase, the contact diameter followed a simple power-law independent of impact speed a

Substituent effects on the photophysics of deep-red to near-infrared emissive iridium(<sc>iii</sc>) complexes.

There is an urgent need for physiologically relevant and customizable biochip models of human lung tissue to provide a niche for lung disease modeling and drug efficacy. Although various lung-on-a-chips have been developed, the conventional fabrication method has been limited in reconstituting a very thin and multilayered architecture and spatial arrangements of multiple cell types in a microfluidic device. To overcome these limitations, we developed a physiologically relevant human alveolar lun

This paper reports a detailed experimental investigation of the formation, destabilization, and atomization of the liquid sheets created by the oblique impact of two laminar jets of a Newtonian liquid. Glycerol-water mixtures with viscosities between 4 and 30 mPa s were used to investigate the effects of viscosity and jet velocity. The jets were ejected from parallel cylindrical nozzles with an internal diameter of 0.85 mm. Collision of the jets resulted in various regimes of behavior which depe

Aromatic soluble polyimides (PIs) have been widely used in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) as gate dielectric layers due to their promising features such as outstanding chemical resistance, thermal stability, low-temperature processability, and mechanical flexibility. However, the molecular structures of soluble PIs on the electrical characteristics of OFETs are not yet fully understood. In this work, the material, dielectric, and electrical properties are evaluated to systematically in

Poly(4-vinylphenol) (PVP) is a promising gate dielectric material for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and circuits fabricated on plastic substrates. Thermal cross-linking of PVP with a cross-linker, such as poly(melamine- co-formaldehyde) methylated (PMF), at a high temperature (above 170 °C) is widely considered an effective method to remove residual hydroxyl groups that induce polarization effects in the dielectric bulk. However, the threshold voltage shift in transfer characteristics

One of the major challenges encountered in engineering complex tissues in vitro is to increase levels of complexity at the micron scale in 3D structures. Here, a strategy to create self-organized 3D collagen microstructures by 2D micropatterning of fibroblasts is developed. Drop-on-demand inkjet printing is used to pattern fibroblast cells on a collagen substrate in pre-designed patterns and with controlled density. It is found that cell-to-ECM interaction promotes cellular self-organization of

Quantification of intratumoral heterogeneity is essential for designing effective therapeutic strategies in the age of personalized medicine. In this study, we used a piezoelectric inkjet printer to enable analysis of intratumoral heterogeneity in a bladder cancer for the first time. Patient-derived tumor organoids were dissociated into single cell suspension and used as a bioink. The individual cells were precisely allocated into a microwell plate by drop-on-demand inkjet printing without any a

Organic thin-film transistor (TFT)-based pressure sensors have received huge attention for wearable electronic applications such as health monitoring and smart robotics. However, there still remains a challenge to achieve low power consumption and high sensitivity at the same time for the realization of truly wearable sensor systems where minimizing power consumption is significant because of limited battery run time. Here, we introduce a flexible pressure-sensitive contact transistor (PCT), a n
