Three-dimensional (3D), sub-millimeter-scale constructs of neural cells, known as neural spheroids and organoids, are of rapidly growing importance in neuroscience research due to their ability to reproduce complex features of brain architecture, function and organization in vitro. We have developed complaint, shape-matched mesoscale platforms in precisely engineered 3D geometries that gently envelop the spheroids/organoids to establish multifunctional electronic, optoelectronic, thermal, mechanical and biochemical interfaces to these systems for fundamental studies of their behaviors. Demonstrations include their application to human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical spheroids and assembloids... By comparison to the eyes and the ears, the skin is a relatively underexplored interface for VR/AR technology that could, nevertheless, greatly augment a virtual experience. We have developed a wireless, battery-free platform of electronic systems and haptic interfaces that..
