Description
Summary:Topographically Conductive Materials In article number 2102062, Xiaoyun Qian, Yuanjin Zhao, Renjie Chai, and co‐authors construct a composite conductive topological substrate by integrating super‐aligned carbon nanotube sheets (SA‐CNTs) and methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel on Morpho Menelaus butterfly wings. This integrated substrate possesses the anisotropic topology of wing surface and the high conductivity of CNTs, and exhibits great potential to promote the adhesion, growth, orientation, and synapse development of spiral ganglion neurons.
