Summary: The article describes the use of repetitive voltammetry to date archaeological gold objects. The method involves recording the voltammetric responses of gold, silver, and copper nanosamples attached to graphite electrodes immersed in HCl electrolytes. Different electrochemical types representative of various manufacturing techniques can be characterized using this methodology. Age estimates are based on the assumption that decuprification/desilvering processes progress with time under reasonably uniform conditions. Age calibration curves covering approximately 2500 years were obtained from archaeological samples from various institutions.

Summary: Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have shown great potential in various applications, and a highly elastic all-polymer OECT platform with high transconductance, long-term durability, and sustainability has been developed in this study. By transfer printing PEDOT:PSS microstructures onto a gelatin-based gel electrolyte, high-performance OECTs were rapidly prototyped, retaining over 70% performance after biaxial stretching and repeated cycles of strain. The use of anti-drying and degradable gelatin, along with self-crosslinked PEDOT:PSS/LiTFSI, enabled stability over long storage periods and facilitated on-demand disposal and recycling.

Summary: We propose a fabrication method for intrinsically stretchable organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) by combining a microstructured hydrophilic substrate, multimaterial printing of functional inks, and optimization of device channel geometries. The resulting OECT array exhibits high transconductance (22.5 mS), excellent mechanical softness (Young's modulus similar to 2.2 MPa), and stretchability (similar to 30%). Moreover, the device demonstrates artificial synapse functionality, mimicking biological synapses with features such as paired-pulse depression, short-term plasticity, and long-term plasticity. This study provides a promising strategy for fabricating stretchable OECTs and offers valuable insights for the development of brain-computer interfaces.
