Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs) are key to the integration of green hydrogen into the energy and transport systems. The adoption of HFCVs is being supported by advances in hydrogen production and fuel cell technologies, coupled with the development of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. However, technological, economic and regulatory barriers to the growth of the hydrogen economy remain. This Review examines the progress and challenges in the integration of HFCVs into the energy and transport systems. We also consider challenges in scaling green hydrogen production using renewable energy and highlight the role of HFCVs in facilitating the integration of green hydrogen and renewable energy into the energy and transport systems.

Traditional strategies such as opioid-based medications are highly effective but pose many long-term risks, including addiction and overdose. In this Review, we discuss these persistent challenges in medical care along with advances in bioelectronics that enable safer and more effective alternative treatments. Emerging approaches leverage wireless embedded networks and machine learning to accurately detect and quantify the symptoms of pain, establishing a foundation for targeted, on-demand treatment. These platforms offer a powerful complement to wearable and implantable neural interfaces that can control these symptoms with unprecedented spatiotemporal and functional selectivity. Now, emotional and cognitive aspects of pain can be addressed through immersive multisensory engagement with systems for augmented and virtual reality. Trends in diagnostic and interventional technologies show how their integration is well suited to addressing some of the most intractable problems in pain management. Pain is a profound and unresolved health challenge, and current interventions are not sufficient for safe and effective pain management. Bioelectronics presents solutions for monitoring the symptoms of pain and treating these symptoms in a targeted manner.","PeriodicalId":501701,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering","volume":"2 6","pages":"407-424"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145123182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Central to this integration are the bio–electronic interfaces, which require conformal alignment and optimized electrical and mechanical properties to ensure stable and accurate signal acquisition. Traditional bioelectronic devices frequently fail to achieve good conformity at the microscale and nanoscale, lacking fabrication processes feasible for customized three-dimensional (3D) microstructures and nanostructures. In this Review, we discuss advances in 3D manufacturing technologies, focusing on those techniques that, enabling the fabrication of cross-scale, multimaterial structures, address key challenges in spatial complexity and mechanical mismatch at the bio–electronic interface. These innovations promote both long-term wearability and high-fidelity signal integrity. Interdisciplinary collaboration — particularly the integration of artificial intelligence — is essential for driving successful transformation in the field. Delivering cost-effective and scalable solutions for the fabrication of high-fidelity bioelectronic devices is crucial to realize their transformative potential in healthcare, human–machine interaction, and personalized medicine.

In contrast to the flourishing of digital interaction devices for sighted users, the needs of blind and partially sighted users for digital interaction devices have not been adequately addressed. Current assistive devices often cause frustration in blind and partially sighted users owing to the limited efficiency and reliability of information delivery and the high cognitive load associated with their use. The expected rise in the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment due to global population ageing drives an urgent need for assistive devices that can deliver information effectively and non-visually, and thereby overcome the challenges faced by this community. This Perspective presents three potential directions in assistive device design: multisensory learning and integration; gestural interaction control; and the synchronization of tactile feedback with large-scale visual language models. Future trends in assistive devices for use by blind and partially sighted people are also explored, focusing on metrics for text delivery efficiency and the enhancement of image content delivery. Such devices promise to greatly enrich the lives of blind and partially sighted individuals in the digital age. Blind and partially sighted individuals face considerable challenges when interacting with digital information. This Perspective highlights important bottlenecks in information accessibility, design considerations for future wearable assistive devices and the outlook for improved access to and delivery of information in text and images.","PeriodicalId":501701,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering","volume":"2 6","pages":"425-439"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145123183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
