Abstract

Abstract : In article number 2005370, Benedetto Marelli and co‐workers design a silk‐based microneedle technology to provide food quality and information without opening packages. The microneedles can pierce through commercial food films and transport food fluids to biosensors printed on the backside. By reading the sensors' colorimetric responses, non‐expert users can quickly identify food contamination and spoilage.
