Conventional field-effect transistors (FETs), dominated by rigid silicon and oxide semiconductors, have fueled decades of technological progress but remain inherently brittle, inflexible, and difficult to recycle. These limitations hinder their integration into emerging fields such as soft robotics, wearable systems, and bioelectronics, while contributing substantially to the global e-waste burden. Gallium-based liquid metals (LMs) have recently emerged as transformative building blocks for next-generation FETs, combining metallic conductivity, fluidic deformability, room-temperature processability, and recyclability. Their multifunctional nature enables their deployment as electrodes, interconnects, dielectrics, and even semiconducting components, while their fluidity imparts self-healing, reconfigurable, and repairable features. This review examines the transition from solid-state to LM-enabled FETs, emphasizing strategies in structural engineering, intrinsically stretchable materials, and LM-based composites that merge electronic performance with mechanical adaptability. Special focus is placed on the 4R framework—resilient operation, repairability, recyclability, and renewable design principles—as pathways to advance sustainable transistor technologies and mitigate e-waste.

By maintaining uniform reaction pathways, SACs minimize the formation of unwanted byproducts, thus exhibiting extremely high selectivity and atomic efficiency. A key determinant of SAC performance lies in the interfacial interaction between the isolated metal atoms and the supporting material under strong metal–support coordination, which is vital for maintaining long-term activity. However, despite these benefits, reproducibly synthesizing SACs with high metal loadings while retaining uniform dispersion remains a significant challenge. To address the intrinsic challenges of SACs, recent research has expanded into dual-atom catalysts (DACs) and single-atom alloy catalysts (SAACs), providing synergistic active sites and combining the benefits of SACs with bimetallic systems. This review systematically explores the latest advancements in synthesis methods and innovations for SACs for electrochemical water splitting.

Wide material compatibility, fine feature control, and low heat input make DLW attractive for wearable human-machine interaction (HMI). These systems are soft, skin-conformal devices that monitor physiological and environmental signals in real time. This review surveys DLW-derived materials and architectures for wearable HMI devices. It provides a system-level perspective and highlights manufacturing-structure-property-performance relationships that guide the design of DLW-enabled wearables. We first outline the main laser-material interaction mechanisms, then classify DLW-derived materials into six families: carbon-based frameworks, metals and alloys, metal oxides, polymers and composites, 2D materials, and hybrids. For each family, we link manufacturing routes, microstructures, key properties, and device performance. Next, we map these materials onto five building blocks of wearable platforms: sensors, energy modules, communication components, feedback interfaces, and fully integrated systems. We cover mechanical, pressure, strain, humidity, temperature, gas, optical, biochemical, and multimodal sensors. Performance is benchmarked in terms of sensitivity, detection limit and range, response and recovery time, and stability under realistic deformation and wear.
