Continuous real-time respiration monitoring can provide valuable insights for the early detection and management of several respiratory diseases. High-sensitivity, noninvasive, comfortable, and long-term stable respiration devices are highly desirable. In spite of this, existing respiration sensors cannot provide continuous long-term monitoring due to the erosion from moisture, fluctuations in body temperature, and many other environmental factors. This research developed a wearable thermal-based respiration sensor made of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) using a microfabrication process. The results showed that as a result of the Joule heating effect in the robustness 3C-SiC material, the sensor offered high sensitivity with the negative temperature coefficient of resistance of approximately 5,200ppmK<sup>-1</sup>, an excellent response to respiration and long-term stability monitoring. Furthermore, by incorporating a deep learning model, this fabricated sensor can develop advanced capabilities to distinguish between the four distinct breath patterns: slow, normal, fast, and deep breathing, and provide an impressive classification accuracy rate of ≈ 99.7%.

The sensing performance of tactile sensors is commonly affected by external deformations like stretching, bending, and twisting, thus they may fail to function on deformable object surfaces. This paper presents a stretchable tactile sensor array using kirigami-patterned structural design and soft hinges to reduce the influences of deformation. The kirigami pattern of sensor array is parametrically studied to achieve the required expansion patterns. Laser engraving is employed to modify the micropillars on the force-sensitive rubber surface to increase the sensitivity. Characterization tests show that the sensor array has high sensitivity (≈1.49 × 10<sup>−1</sup> kPa<sup>−1</sup>) for force sensing, and the stretching and bending deformation have almost negligible effects on sensing performance. Under 40% stretching or 180° bending conditions, the measured resistance changes (Δ<i>R</i>/<i>R</i><sub>0</sub>) is ≈0.03 and 0.06, respectively. To demonstrate the capability of developed sensor array, it is mounted on an expandable balloon surface for force detection.

Phenotypic changes of CTCs reveal invaluable information for oncologists in disease prognosis and adjusting their treatment options. Microfluidic technology has emerged as a promising tool for CTC isolation; however, two major hurdles remain to be solved in employing them in CTC analysis. First, a rapid CTC isolation scheme is needed to allow immediate use of patient samples for point-of-care treatment monitoring. Second, multiplexed and streamlined CTC imaging is needed to facilitate CTC detection. Here, a microfluidic CTC sequential trapping array (STA) is proposed which addresses these hurdles enabling pipette-based CTC isolation and simultaneous profiling of multiple CTC protein expressions. The STA device isolates CTCs based on their size difference from blood cells and increases sample processing throughput through its parallel design configuration. It successfully isolates CTC from a depleted peripheral blood mononuclear cells sample of breast cancer patients with a high recovery rate of 80% and discriminates the number and types of CTCs in breast cancer based on their disease stage. These findings will open a new avenue in clinical translation of CTC profiling technologies.

Complications arise as traditional methods of equipping wood with electronics often compromise structural integrity and thus limit applications requiring load-bearing capabilities. Here, seamless fabrication methods that allow the direct enhancement of wooden surfaces with electrically conducting structures, sensors, and microelectronic components based on screen printing of conducting inks or physical vapor deposition of thin metal films in conjunction with laser engraving are presented. Such electronic circuits imperceptibly operate on the surface of structural elements or as parts of decorative wooden furniture. These types of electronic wooden surfaces enable touch-sensing applications, monitoring temperature, or the curing of varnishes without compromising functionality and mechanical stability.
