Recently, bioelectronic devices extensively researched and developed through the convergence of flexible biocompatible materials and electronics design that enables more precise diagnostics and therapeutics in human health care and opens up the potential to expand into various fields, such as clinical medicine and biomedical research. To establish an accurate and stable bidirectional bio‐interface, protection against the external environment and high mechanical deformation is essential for wearable bioelectronic devices. In the case of implantable bioelectronics, special encapsulation materials and optimized mechanical designs and configurations that provide electronic stability and functionality are required for accommodating various organ properties, lifespans, and functions in the biofluid environment. Here, this study introduces recent developments of ultra‐thin encapsulations with novel materials that can preserve or even improve the electrical performance of wearable and implantable bio‐integrated electronics by supporting safety and stability for protection from destruction and contamination as well as optimizing the use of bioelectronic systems in physiological environments. In addition, a summary of the materials, methods, and characteristics of the most widely used encapsulation technologies is introduced, thereby providing a strategic selection of appropriate choices of recently developed flexible bioelectronics.

In the rapidly evolving field of human-machine interfaces (HMIs), high-resolution wearable electronic skin (e-skin) is essential for user interaction. However, traditional array-structured tactile interfaces require increased number of interconnects, while soft material–based computational methods have limited functionalities. Here, we introduce a thin and soft e-skin for tactile interfaces, offering high mapping capabilities through electrical impedance tomography (EIT). We employed an organic/inorganic hybrid structure with simple, cost-effective fabrication processes, ensuring flexibility and stability. The conductive and stretchable sensing domain includes a micropatterned multiwall carbon nanotube and elastomer composite. The skin-like tactile interface effectively detects pressure-induced conductivity changes, offering superior spatiotemporal resolution with fewer interconnects (pixel/interconnects >57). This EIT-based tactile interface discerns external pressures to a submillimeter degree and vertical deformations of a few hundred micrometers. It sustains stable functions under external damage or environmental changes, confirming its suitability for persistent wearable use. We demonstrate practical applications in real-time HMIs: handwriting recognition and drone control.

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.

Sign language translation systems have long aimed to bridge the communication between signers and nonsigners. However, preliminary systems rely on glove-type wearables or wired sensor arrays, which constrain hand movement, reduce comfort, and require nonpersonalized sensor positions that limit adaptability across users. Here, we introduce a wirelessly connected, ring-type sign language translator (WRSLT) designed to overcome these limitations by enabling full finger mobility through independent sensor rings and multilink communication. The system supports static and dynamic gesture detection using selected fingers via quantitative relevance analysis and achieves robust user-independent performance without per-user calibration. WRSLT demonstrated high recognition accuracy on large-scale datasets comprising 100 American Sign Language and 100 International Sign Language words, achieving 88.3 and 88.5% accuracy, respectively, under unseen-user conditions (i.e., test users not included in model training). Furthermore, a custom sequential word detection framework enables sentence-level translation from continuous signing input without requiring separate training on entire sentence structures.
