Supported graphene-based membranes: Porous graphene sheets have excellent filtration capabilities and are able to block most ions, but their fragility limits their scale-up beyond laboratory demonstrations. Yang et al. created a nanoporous graphene membrane reinforced by a network of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to provide mechanical stability (see the Perspective by Mi). The SWNT network also stopped the propagation of cracks in the graphene, effectively localizing the damage to a small area defined by a cell in the carbon nanotube mesh. The membranes showed high water flux rates as well as a high rejection rate for most ions. Science , this issue p. 1057 ; see also p. 1033

Numerous wireless optogenetic systems have been reported for practical tether-free optogenetics in freely moving animals. However, most devices rely on battery-powered or coil-powered systems requiring periodic battery replacement or bulky, high-cost charging equipment with delicate antenna design. This leads to spatiotemporal constraints, such as limited experimental duration due to battery life or animals’ restricted movement within specific areas to maintain wireless power transmission. In this study, we present a wireless, solar-powered, flexible optoelectronic device for neuromodulation of the complete freely behaving subject. This device provides chronic operation without battery replacement or other external settings including impedance matching technique and radio frequency generators. Our device uses high-efficiency, thin InGaP/GaAs tandem flexible photovoltaics to harvest energy from various light sources, which powers Bluetooth system to facilitate long-term, on-demand use. Observation of sustained locomotion behaviors for a month in mice via secondary motor cortex area stimulation demonstrates the notable capabilities of our device, highlighting its potential for space-free neuromodulating applications.
