Bioresorbable and optically readable triboelectric implants enabled by nanoscale iridophosphors

Reports a battery-free, bioresorbable triboelectric implant that gives externally visible phosphorescent readouts while harvesting ultrasound energy.

Key Takeaways
  • Reliance on batteries further exacerbates these risks by imposing limited lifetimes
  • Complexes optimized for both optical reporting and triboelectric charge generation
  • 3: ML-guided screening of cyclometallating ligands and experimental validation of Ir(III) emitters
