However, fully unlocking their potential hinges on establishing a nondisruptive, intimate, and nonrestrictive interface with the tissue surface, facilitating efficient integration between the microinterventional sensor and the target tissue. In this comprehensive review, we highlight the critical tissue characteristics in both physiologically and pathologically relevant contexts that are pivotal for the design of microinterventional sensors. We also summarize recent advancements in flexible substrate materials and conductive materials, which are tailored to facilitate effective information interaction between bioelectronic components and biological tissues. Furthermore, we classify various electrode architectures─spanning 1D, 2D, and 3D─designed to accommodate the mechanics of soft tissues and enable nonrestrictive interfaces in diverse sensing scenarios. Additionally, we outline critical challenges for next-generation microinterventional sensors and propose integrating advanced materials, innovative fabrication, and embedded intelligence to drive breakthroughs in biosignal sensing. Ultimately, we aim to both provide foundational understanding and highlight emerging strategies in biosignal capture, leveraging recent advancements in these critical components.","PeriodicalId":32,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Reviews","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":62.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144370771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This natural bottom-up evolution inspired chemists to devise similarly organized processes for the creation of complex artificial matter. Similarly, the systematic design of customizable, complex nanocrystals has long been a fundamental goal. In this review, we present a comprehensive collection of chemical toolkits consisting of versatile, on-demand steps for the sequential synthesis of morphologically complex plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs). By integrating multistep synthetic routes, we introduce a list of chemical toolkits that enable combinable synthetic steps. This approach facilitates the controlled, multistep synthesis of shape-complex plasmonic NPs. We demonstrate how these designable chemical toolkits, when applied sequentially or in tailored combinations, enable the rational design of advanced plasmonic nanostructures with unprecedented complexity and structural hierarchy. This ultimately opens the door to an extensive, systematically expandable library of nanostructures with tailored functionalities. Through the advancement of this rationally designed synthetic approach, we aim to establish a “multiple stepwise synthesis” framework for fabricating shape-complex plasmonic building blocks, thus providing a roadmap for designing the next generation of plasmonic NPs.","PeriodicalId":32,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Reviews","volume":"589 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":62.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144268962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biological systems are capable of dexterous and adaptable behaviors across length scales. Replicating these behaviors in human-made machines thus requires drawing inspiration from nature. In recent years, roboticists have identified compliance as a key design feature of biological sensors and actuators, enabling closed-loop control of complex behaviors such as locomotion, feeding, and manipulation that are central to life. Integrating compliance into the functional components of autonomous machines has inspired and accelerated the growth of “soft robotics” as a discipline. In this special issue on <i>Soft Robotics</i>, we highlight emerging frontiers in compliant sensing and actuation, novel materials and manufacturing techniques for fabricating soft bioinspired and biohybrid systems, and real-world applications of compliant machines. The featured reviews outline an exciting vision for the future of soft robotics that promises to advance the safety, reliability, and sustainability of autonomous machines. Despite rapid progress in soft materials, sensors, and actuators, achieving seamless sensorimotor integration in soft robots remains a challenge. A comprehensive review from Xiaodong Chen and colleagues explores this emerging topic by examining the foundations of sensorimotor functions. (1) The authors first outline the current state-of-the-art in soft sensing mechanisms (pressure, strain, temperature, optical, chemical, acoustic, and electromagnetic) and actuation mechanisms (fluidic, electroactive, magnetic, optical, thermal, chemical) and then highlight efforts to combine these into sensorimotor control architectures, drawing inspiration from biological systems. In particular, this review considers how artificial intelligence (AI) integrated with soft robotics can enable adaptive and responsive control in dynamic environments, enabling high-level functional behaviors such as decision making and autonomous learning. Adaptive and responsive control requires improvements in stretchable electronics, motivating a review by Michael Dickey and colleagues on methods to manufacture flexible conductors via sintering of liquid metal particles. (2) The review surveys the benefits and limitations of ten sintering methods (mechanical, thermal, laser, sonication, electrochemical, Ag flake bridges, chemical, evaporation-induced, field-based alignment, and freezing-activated) for forming soft, stretchable, and conductive materials for functional use in soft robotics. The authors also highlight key technical challenges, including the development of practical manufacturing and processing methods, that need to be addressed to enable scalable fabrication of high-performance soft electronics for real-world applications. Real-world applications of soft robots are broad and include exploratory machines, augmented reality systems, and healthcare.
