Simultaneous monitoring of electrophysiology and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could guide the innovative diagnosis and treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases that were previously impossible. However, this technique is difficult because the existing metal‐based implantable neural interface for electrophysiology is not free from signal distortions due to its intrinsic magnetic susceptibility while performing an MRI of the implanted area of the neural interface. Moreover, brain tissue heating from neural implants generated by the radiofrequency field from MRI poses potential hazards for patients. Previous studies with soft polymer‐based electrode arrays that overcome this issue provided relatively suitable MRI compatibility but did not guarantee high‐resolution electrophysiological signal acquisition and stimulation performance. Here, we introduce MRI compatible, optically transparent flexible implantable device capable of electrophysiological multichannel mapping and electrical stimulation. Using the device, we confirmed neuropathic pain (NP) relief with a 30‐channel electrophysiological mapping of the somatosensory area before and after motor cortex stimulation (MCS) in allodynia rats after noxious stimulation. Additionally, we demonstrated artifact‐free manganese‐enhanced MRI of dramatic relief of pain‐related region activity by MCS. Furthermore, artifact‐free optogenetics with transgenic mice was also investigated by recording light‐evoked potentials. These results suggested a promising neuro‐prosthetic for analyzing and modulating spatiotemporal neurodynamic without MRI or optical modality resolution constraints.This article is protected by copyright.

This study investigates the mechanical properties of titanium carbide/aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) using both experimental and computational methods. Through accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and cryorolling (CR) processes, AA1050 alloy surfaces were reinforced with TiCp particles to create the Al–TiCp composite. The experimental analysis shows significant improvements in tensile strength, yield strength, elastic modulus, and hardness. The finite element analysis (FEA) simulations, particularly the microstructural modeling of RVE−1 (the experimental case model), align closely with the experimental results observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This validation underscores the accuracy of the computational models in predicting the mechanical behavior under identical experimental conditions. The simulated elastic modulus deviates by 5.49% from the experimental value, while the tensile strength shows a 6.81% difference. Additionally, the simulated yield strength indicates a 2.85% deviation. The simulation data provide insights into the microstructural behavior, stress distribution, and particle–matrix interactions, facilitating the design optimization for enhanced performance. The study also explores the influence of particle shapes and sizes through Representative Volume Element (RVE) models, highlighting nuanced effects on stress–strain behavior. The microstructural evolution is examined via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), revealing insights regarding grain refinement. These findings demonstrate the potential of Al–TiCp composites for lightweight applications.

The study evaluates the mechanical and wear properties of LM26 alloy and its hybrid composites with silicon carbide (SiC) and nickel-coated graphite (Ni-Gr). LM26 aluminum alloy is generally known for its high strength, wear, and corrosion resistance compared to similar materials such as zinc and magnesium. The effect of Ni-Gr was studied, with 2 wt.% was found to provide the best mechanical properties. LM26 composites reinforced with varying percentages of SiC (0 to 30 wt.%) showed the best properties at 20 wt.% reinforcement after fabrication using a bottom pouring type stir casting setup (Two step feeding method). Evaluation of five hybrid LM26 composites through tensile strength, elongation, hardness, impact, porosity, and thermal studies showed that the LM26/2 wt.% Ni-Gr/20 wt.% SiC configuration showed the best filler composition for improved strength. Sliding wear evaluation using experimental and Taguchi analysis was performed at different configurations to identify the best wear resistance. Microstructure studies showed the presence of Ni-Gr particles forming coatings and temperature playing a significant role in the progression of the wear rate. Furthermore, the hybrid composite with 20% SiC and 2% Ni-Gr reinforcement showed the best wear resistance.
