Researchers have developed a soft laser-printed scaffold made almost entirely of water that bone cells readily colonize.

The ideal material for interfacing electronics with living tissue is soft, stretchable, and just as water-loving as the tissue itself--in short, a hydrogel. Semiconductors, the key materials for ...

Millimeter-scale hydrogels form reversible, stimulus-responsive assemblies that encode high-density data, offering a dynamic alternative to static printed codes for adaptive information storage.

The market is estimated to reach USD 3.9 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand to approximately USD 7.5 billion by 2035, ...

Non-living hydrogels can play the video game Pong and improve their gameplay with more experience, researchers report August 23 in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports Physical Science. The researchers ...

A rubber duck that was stuck to a seaside rock for more than a year has proved the strength of a new sticky material. The adhesive could be used in deep-sea robots and repair work, or as surgical glue ...

Scientists have developed data-driven hydrogels that stick instantly and strongly underwater, using protein-inspired polymer design and machine learning to boost performance in marine and biomedical ...

Lake County, California, is exploring a targeted strategy to fight harmful algal blooms on Clear Lake, one that pairs ...

Electrically tunable ionic hydrogels use small voltages to switch friction at metal contacts between high-friction and ultra-low-friction states, enabling voltage-programmed grip, release and motion ...
