Problems solved by technology

However, such wearable and implantable devices all have the same problem: shape adaptation and matching
Especially for these implantable devices, in case of failure and danger, they can only be removed and replaced by surgery, which will cause greater trauma to the patient
What's more, some implanted devices, such as artificial retina, will be combined with human tissue after implantation, so it is not easy to replace
[0003] In the early days, the shape change of flexible electrodes was realized by pressure-induced deformation through annealing, but it was easy to damage expensive electrodes (Survey of Ophthalmology, 2002, 47, 335-356)
Recently, the Charles M. Lieber research group of Harvard University developed an injectable metal mesh electrode, which will automatically expand after being injected into the living body. However, the expansion of the electrode is only based on the release of the internal stress of the metal mesh electrode, which may lead to Tissue damage (Nature Nanotechnology, 2015, 10, 629-636), and the entire metal network can only be used as a single stimulation or information collection unit, and cannot achieve multi-channel stimulation or information collection functions
