Direct printing of thin-film transistors has enormous potential for ubiquitous and lightweight wearable electronic applications. However, advances in printed integrated circuits remain very rare. Here we present a three-dimensional (3D) integration approach to achieve technology scaling in printed transistor density, analogous to Moore's law driven by lithography, as well as enhancing device performance. To provide a proof of principle for the approach, we demonstrate the scalable 3D integration

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

In this paper, we demonstrate three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuits (ICs) based on a 3D complementary organic field-effect transistor (3D-COFET). The transistor-on-transistor structure was achieved by vertically stacking a p-type OFET over an n-type OFET with a shared gate joining the two transistors, effectively halving the footprint of printed transistors. All the functional layers including organic semiconductors, source/drain/gate electrodes, and interconnection paths were fully inkjet-

Wearable pressure sensors have demonstrated great potential in detecting pulse pressure waves on the skin for the noninvasive and continuous diagnosis of cardiac conditions. However, difficulties lie in positioning conventional single-point sensors on an invisible arterial line, thereby preventing the detection of adequate signal amplitude for accurate pulse wave analysis. Herein, we introduce the spatiotemporal measurements of arterial pulse waves using wearable active-matrix pressure sensors t

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

Microfabrication methods have widely been used to control the local cellular environment on a micron scale. However, accurately mimicking the complexity of the in vivo tissue architecture while maintaining the freedom of form and design is still a challenge when co-culturing multiple types of cells on the same substrate. For the first time, we present a drop-on-demand inkjet printing method to directly pattern living cells into a cell-friendly liquid environment. High-resolution control of cell

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

Abstract Upcoming technologies in the fields of flexible electronics require the cost-efficient fabrication of complex circuitry in a streamlined process. Digital printing techniques such as inkjet printing can enable such applications thanks to their inherent freedom of design permitting the mask-free deposition of multilayer optoelectronic devices without the need for subtracting techniques. Here we present an active matrix sensor array comprised of 100 inkjet-printed organic thin film transis

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
