[ Research & Teaching Excellence | HKUST Researchers Introduce Thermal-Electric Aerosol Printer to Make Piezoelectric Biofilms at Unprecedented Speed ] What if groundbreaking medical devices could be manufactured at unprecedented speeds? A study led by Professor YANG Zhengbao from the School of Engineering of HKUST has developed a groundbreaking thermal-electric aerosol (TEA) printer that significantly accelerates piezoelectric biofilm manufacturing. Achieving a speed that is two orders of magnitude faster than existing technologies, this innovation paves the way for the industrial-scale production of biocompatible and biodegradable electronics, with medical applications such as ultrasonic energy harvesters for postoperative cardiac patients. This study demonstrates the great potential of piezoelectric biomaterials printed on the fly for use in bioelectronic devices. The paper has been published in the journal Science Advances, and subsequently selected by Nature Electronics as a research highlight. Its three co-first authors are HKUST postdoctoral fellow Dr. LI Xuemu, CityU PhD graduate Dr. ZHANG Zhuomin and PhD student ZHENG Yi.
