Hydrogel Machines for Seamless Living System Interfaces
Bioelectronic interfaces are machines designed to exchange information with living matter. They are opening new frontiers in medicine. For example, machines implanted in the body may soon enable repair of damaged tissues or replacement of functions affected by chronic disease. The realisation of this vision is impeded by the available hardware. Today’s materials, devices and systems are electronic, while soft living matter uses ions and molecules for communication and computation. The central hypothesis of GELECTRO is: electrically conductive hydrogels can enable bioelectronic machines that are multimodal and nearly indistinguishable from the biological host. The project will thus…
