Engineering these materials into free-standing nanom embrane architecture enables flexibility and stretchability\, opening new avenues for biosensing and biomedical applications that demand mechanical compliance with soft tissues.\n\nThis talk highlights our recent efforts t o engineer nanomembrane semiconductors\, including silicon and silicon car bide\, for three classes of biomedical systems: organ-on-chip (for disease modeling and drug screening)\, wearable (for on-skin monitoring/diagnosis )\, and implantable devices (for invasive interventions)\, Figure 1. In th e first example\, we harness the multiphysics coupling of liquid surface t ension and gas compression in nanoscale silicon cantilevers to create biom echanical well plate (BWP) arrays for autonomous\, longitudinal monitoring of organoid and engineered heart tissue contractions. In the second\, we integrate silicon cantilever chips with wireless\, flexible circuitry to r ealize a miniaturized auscultation patch (AusculPatch) – recently patent ed technology for home-based health monitoring. This platform captures vit al body sounds including respiration\, pulse waves\, heart sounds\, and vo cal cord vibrations\, supporting the diagnosis of conditions such as valvu lar disease and sleep apnea. In the third\, we advance transfer printing t echniques for wide bandgap semiconductor membranes (e.g.\, SiC)\, enabling long-term implantable electronics such as robust biobarriers\, stimulatio n electrodes\, and strain sensors.\n\nTogether\, these technologies establ ish a toolkit of semiconductor-based platforms that accelerate the transit ion away from animal models\, enable telehealth solutions\, and support ch ronic disease management.\n\nFigure 1.
