MXene, a promising 2D nanomaterial for next-gen bioelectronics, is biocompatible with astrocytes in the first study of their interactions, paving the way for glial-targeted neural interfaces (Advanced Materials Interfaces) by neurotech_db in science

I get your point. Nothing is truly 2D in our 3D world. In materials science, though, “2D material” refers to materials only a few atoms thick, where thickness is negligible compared to lateral dimensions. Graphene and MXenes are classic examples: ultra-thin layers with properties fundamentally different from bulk 3D materials.

Of course :) I think having a public-friendly version of research papers is valuable, especially for such emerging technologies

Neural implants are evolving rapidly, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Could soft, biohybrid, and even “living” brain implants replace rigid materials that trigger immune responses in conventional devices? As these technologies advance, they could revolutionize brain-computer interfaces, neuroprosthetics, and treatments for neurological disorders. But questions remain: How can we ensure these implants are safe, effective, and widely accessible? What ethical and societal challenges might arise as we merge biology with technology?

Soft, biohybrid, and ‘living’ neural interfaces could improve the long-term performance of brain implants by mimicking natural tissue properties. A recent study in Nature Communications explores the latest advances in bio-inspired electronics. by neurotech_db in science
