About

Feiyao Yang is pioneering the frontier of bioinspired iontronics and next-generation sensory systems, merging materials science with neural-inspired architectures. Their research centers on developing intelligent, self-powered sensors and iontronic devices that transcend the limitations of conventional electronics. Yang’s most impactful contribution is the introduction of “tele-perception” somatosensory technology, detailed in their highly cited 2024 paper (75 citations), which overcomes the sensitivity and threshold constraints of traditional noncontact sensors to extend human sensory cognition. They have also achieved record-high charge density in transistor-like triboiontronics (25 citations), offering an energy-efficient alternative to von Neumann computing by mimicking biological data transmission. Most recently, Yang engineered a biomimetic Janus MXene membrane (17 citations) that enables bidirectional ion permselectivity, a breakthrough for osmotic energy conversion and iontronic logic control. By addressing the fundamental trade-off between ion selectivity and permeability, this work has implications for sustainable energy and neural signal processing. Yang’s innovative fusion of triboelectricity, iontronics, and biomimetic design positions them as a rising leader in self-powered electronics and neuromorphic systems, with their work already shaping the future of human-machine interfaces and intelligent sensing.
