Our Advanced Materials Interfaces frontispiece is out! 🎉 This is the first-ever image of an astrocyte interfaced with MXene nanomaterials 🧠

This image shows Ti3C2Tx MXene flakes on the astrocyte membrane. Ti3C2Tx MXene is a two-dimensional nanomaterial with promising properties for application in bioelectronics. In this first systematic evaluation of astrocyte–MXene interactions, scanning electron microscopy reveals Ti3C2Tx adhering to astrocytes without causing any evident alteration of the membrane. Alongside viability, morphology, and calcium imaging assays, these findings establish for the first time the biocompatibility of Ti3C2Tx MXene with astrocytes. More details can be found in the Research Article by Flavia Vitale, D. Kacy Cullen, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/admi.202500261).

Huge thanks to @pintofscience.us & the Philly organizers for a fantastic (and sold out!) night of science in the pub! 🧠🍻 I spoke on the future of brain implants, #neurotech, and why science communication matters more than ever. #SciComm #SciPol #SciDip
