Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) offer a promising solution for sleep monitoring due to their high transconductance; however, limitations in stretchability, long-term stability, and intelligent data analysis hinder their broader application. Here, a high-performance stretchable OECT that combines a biocompatible ionic liquid-modified conducting polymer channel with an ionogel electrolyte is developed, addressing the trade-off between performance and wearability. This OECT achieves exceptional transconductance (∼2.1 mS), mechanical resilience (30% strain), and long-term stability (>6 months), enabling high-fidelity electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 35.7 dB. Through the integration of circuit boards and deep learning algorithms, we have established a wearable, stable, and highly accurate wireless system capable of detecting OSA events from single-lead ECG signals, presenting a novel approach for reliable and portable sleep monitoring.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143640982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce a personalized, 3D-printed cervical plugging device (CervPlug), tailored to individual cervical dimensions. This non-invasive, patient-friendly intervention effectively improves embryo residence time in the uterus, enhancing embryo-endometrium contact and achieving efficient live births. Moreover, CervPlug also facilitates biological regulation by integrating a supramolecular phenolic nanocomplex composed of green tea polyphenol and Zn<sup>2+</sup> ions. This enables controlled release of progesterone, reduces cervical inflammation, and lowers intra-embryonic reactive oxygen species (ROS). <em>In vivo</em> experiments demonstrate that CervPlug significantly increases implantation rates from 45% to 65% and live births, with no significant adverse effects on the reproductive system. This biomaterial-driven strategy offers a safer, less intrusive alternative in reproductive medicine.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143640981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We engineered hydrogels to emulate the mechanical characteristics of structural materials in nature. The resulting materials demonstrate excellent anisotropic alignment at both the molecular and fiber scales. By controlling adhesion between fibers, we obtain a compact material that is more ductile than both of the individual fibers of which it is composed and isotropic bulk PVA. Overall, these fibrous hydrogels exhibit mechanical properties comparable to various natural tissues, offering significant potential for applications in soft devices and tissue engineering.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143635763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Elastomeric interlayers are shown to promote a uniform pressure distribution, which can compensate for interfacial roughness and/or misalignment of the external plates used to apply stack pressure. Owing to the improved pressure uniformity, the Li plating coverage increases from 49% to 70% after charging to 2 mAh/cm<sup>2</sup>, and Coulombic efficiency increases from 89% to 94%. The interfacial stress distribution is quantified using finite-element simulations under different interlayer conditions.
