Already on this archive

• INBRAIN cortical interface, NCT06368310 — first-in-human intraoperative use; small set; Preliminary device data. [[topics/health/effects]]
• Graphene / GO / GFET electrode and biosensor literature — high paper count, few cleared instruments.
• Oriented GO/PCL fibres and conductive scaffolds — rat sciatic-gap and in-vitro axon-length reports. Animal. Preliminary translation.
• Holey graphene as a molecular stencil on gold (2015) — fabrication toward sensors, not an implant.
• Directa G+ textile membranes and printed thermal circuits — garments, not implants. [[topics/industry/directa-gplus]]
• ZenGUARD on mask and HVAC media — coat on a filter, not a neural thread. [[topics/industry/zenguard]]

Goals people write down

• A cortical or peripheral electrode that records or stimulates without a stainless-steel penalty in flexibility or site area.
• A scaffold that is conductive enough for cells and resorbable enough for a surgeon.
• A wearable (tattoo, textile, microneedle) that lasts a shift, not a press cycle.
• Closed-loop interfaces. Still a review-article sentence in 2025–26.

Theories in circulation

• “Graphene replaces silicon in diagnostics this decade.” Same foundry problem as the electronics pitch. [[logs/theories]]
• A patterning paper “will treat” a named disease this cycle. Motivation language. [[logs/unsourced]]
• Long-term implant / IV GO is solved. 2025–26 reviews still list cytotoxicity, dose, metals, and fate as open.

Projections (forecast language)

Patient-specific printed grafts, smart microneedles, injectable graphene, AI-designed scaffolds — review-article futures. They sit next to the NCT table, not in place of it.
