Abstract

In article number 1801584, Weidong Zhou, John A. Rogers, and co-workers report flexible, transient optical waveguides constructed from monocrystalline silicon, for precise delivery of light to targeted biological tissues, at dimensions that can approach those of a single cell, with the ability to undergo controlled bioresorption into benign products after a well-defined operational time, thereby serving as building blocks for silicon-based bioresorbable photonic systems, with potential broad applicability in diagnosis and therapy.
