Abstract

Abstract Soft bioelectronics enable precise diagnosis and therapeutic intervention by forming intimate interfaces with biological tissues. However, achieving stable and conformal contact on irregular and dynamic tissue surfaces remains a significant challenge1-3. Conventional ultrathin soft platforms that address these issues often require complex fabrication processes, limiting their practicality and performance4, 5. Writing in Nature Nanotechnology, Son and colleagues report a hydrogel–elastomer adhesive bilayer based on ionic–electronic conductive nanomembranes (THIN). This design provides an ultrathin, phase-transformable, and strain-insensitive ion–electron conducting interface capable of precise biosignal monitoring.
