特邀讲座——Play with spatiotemporally evolving biomaterials: from biodegradable electronics to implosive optics

Invited Lecture - Play with Spatiotemporally Evolving Biomaterials: from Biodegradable Electronics to Implosive Optics


讲座简介


The development of electronic and optical systems that harmoniously evolve with dynamic biological environments is crucial to promoting human and environmental healthcare. In this talk, I will explore the role of dynamic adaptability in biomaterials to advance these systems, and explain how these can address grand societal challenges. First, I will introduce a biodegradable electronic device that can serve as ‘medicine’ to eliminate the side effects of drug overdose and enable on-demand therapeutics within clinically relevant timeframes. Second, I will discuss the material processing innovations for new device functionalities and manufacturing approaches (e.g., the development of the first biodegradable micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and advancements in high-speed ultrafast laser manufacturing techniques) to accelerate the deployment of biodegradable electronics into everyday life. Third, I will present a strategy for the volumetric and simultaneous deposition of diverse functional materials in a 3D, ‘arbitrary’, and nanoprecise manner, and illustrate the utility with examples of 3D optical chips and all-optical computing chips.
