3D assembly

In this work published in PNAS (https://www.pnas.org/content/118/19/e2100077118), we present compliant 3D frameworks that incorporate microscale strain sensors for high-sensitivity measurements of contractile forces of engineered optogenetic muscle tissue rings, supported by quantitative simulations.

Abstract: 

Reconfigurable electronic devices that can be shaped in two or more stable geometries modifying their functionalities have been realized, as highlighted by the Cover of March 2018 Issue of Nature Materials.
