From wearable health monitoring to next-generation robotics, piezoresistive pressure sensors are redefining how machines interact with the world. Their evolution sits at the crossroads of chemistry, materials science, and engineering—a vibrant arena for interdisciplinary science.

🏋️ Under pressure? So are next-gen wearables! Our new review explores how flexible pressure sensors help devices “feel” the world around them, powering everything from health monitoring and e-skin to soft robots and smarter human–machine interactions 🦾 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/adfm.75473

After years of work, persistence, and belief in an idea that once felt impossible, we’re excited to share our concept; an approach that we believe can shift the paradigm of multiphoton microscopy. If you’re curious, here you can read more about: doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-6…

As we progress with our Fastcomet, it is time to share our new updates. This time with a cool video. A special highlight is explaining the intricacies of the topic to young students.

My first time visit to Japan started with visit of my good old friend @FurukawaG_Kyoto, Prof. at the @iCeMS_KU_INTL. Unbelievable experience to meet brilliant colleagues, present and discuss our research and try authentic food and drinks from Kyoto! Thank you so much, Shuhei!
