Planetary exploration missions and deep space probes require electrical power management and control systems that are capable of efficient and reliable operation in very low temperature environments. Presently, spacecraft operating in the cold environment of deep space carry a large number of radioisotope heating units in order to maintain the surrounding temperature of the on-board electronics...

Syringe-injectable mesh electronics with tissue-like mechanical properties and open macroporous structures is an emerging powerful paradigm for mapping and modulating brain activity. Indeed, the ultraflexible macroporous structure has exhibited unprecedented minimal/noninvasiveness and the promotion of attractive interactions with neurons in chronic studies. These same structural features also ...

Wearable computers are portable electronics worn on the (CMU). Figure 1 shows the wearable computer's evolution in body. The increasing thermal challenges facing these compact terms of the power dissipation per unit area available for heat systems have motivated new cooling strategies such as transfer to the ambient. The exponential increase in the power transient thermal management with therma...

Hybrid or heterogeneous integration of silicon technologies and printed electronics is a promising approach for high-performance flexible electronics. It essentially the rigid microchips with circuit on substrate. However, no-lead millimeter-size pitch introduce practical challenges in terms precise electrical bonding onto pattern. The differences mechanical thermal requirements also make it ch...
