Reconfigurable systems complement the existing efforts of miniaturizing integrated circuits to provide a new direction for the development of future electronics. Such systems can integrate low dimensional materials and metamaterials to enable functional transformation from the deformation to changes in multiple physical properties, including mechanical, electric, optical, and thermal. Capable of overcoming the mismatch in geometries and forms between rigid electronics and soft tissues, bio-integrated electronics enabled by reconfigurable systems can provide continuous monitoring of physiological signals. The new opportunities also extend beyond to human-computer interfaces, diagnostic/therapeutic platforms, and soft robotics. In the development of these systems, biomimicry has been a long lasting inspiration for the novel yet simple designs and technological innovations. As interdisciplinary research becomes evident in such development, collaboration across scientists and physicians from diverse backgrounds would be highly encouraged to tackle grand challenges in this field.

可重配置系统补充了使集成电路小型化的现有努力，从而为未来电子产品的发展提供了新的方向。这样的系统可以集成低维材料和超材料，以实现从变形到多种物理特性（包括机械，电气，光学和热学）变化的功能转换。能够克服刚性电子设备和软组织之间的几何形状和形式的不匹配，通过可重配置系统启用的生物集成电子设备可以提供对生理信号的连续监视。新的机会还不仅限于人机界面，诊断/治疗平台和软机器人。在开发这些系统时，仿生一直是新颖而简单的设计和技术创新的长期灵感。随着跨学科研究在这种发展中变得明显，将强烈鼓励来自不同背景的科学家和医师之间的合作以应对这一领域的巨大挑战。
