Semiconductors are materials — traditionally inorganic ones — that can act as either conductors or insulators under different conditions. They form the foundation of electronics and play a crucial role in many devices. John Rogers and co-workers discuss recent advances that have made possible the preparation of inorganic semiconductors as nanowires or nanomembranes, their assembly together with organic components into hybrid materials, and their integration into devices. These one- and two-dimensional structures allow for the construction of electronic or opto-electronic devices that are flexible and stretchable — properties that are particularly, albeit not exclusively, promising for biological applications. Systems capable of mapping the electrical activity of the heart and brain have been built, and assemblies whose characteristics mimic those of human skin have led to the construction of epidermal electronic devices. Such devices hold promise for monitoring functional activity and for therapeutic interventions.
