MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511125190 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Dec. 11, 2025, for 'bioadaptive photonic skin for real-time environmental and physiological regulation.'
Inventor(s) include Siddharth Arora.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a bioadaptive photonic skin capable of autonomously regulating thermal and optical properties in response to environmental and physiological conditions. The system comprises a multilayer structure including a photonic nanostructure layer, a moisture-responsive hydrogel layer, and a bioelectrochemical gradient layer integrated on a flexible substrate. The photonic-hydrogel coupling enables real-time modulation of reflectivity, emissivity and heat transfer without external power. The bioelectrochemical layer harvests ionic energy from perspiration to bias or sustain adaptive responses. Optional micro-sensors and control circuits allow data-driven regulation. The invention provides a self-powered, lightweight and biocompatible material suitable for garments, medical patches, prosthetic covers and robotic skins. By mimicking natural thermoregulation mechanisms, the bioadaptive photonic skin offers continuous comfort, reduced energy consumption and environmental adaptability, representing a breakthrough in sustainable wearable technology."
