Using Orbeez, soft hydrogel balls that absorb water, I showcase the mechanical principles of each design. These slippery, squishy balls are tough to crush, offering a unique challenge for the LEGO ...

Researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have unveiled a groundbreaking self-healing hydrogel that mimics human skin. This cutting-edge material repairs itself up to 90% in ...

A new 3D-printed hydrogel made from cow meniscus could transform how these injuries heal, according to results of a pre-clinical study published in Bioactive Materials from researchers in the ...

The hydrogel has a unique structure, making it the first to combine strength and flexibility with self-healing capabilities. We all encounter gels in daily life – from the soft, sticky ...

The molecular functionalized biomass hydrogel developed by the research team acts as an adsorbent that captures moisture from the air and can be extracted as a liquid by applying mild heat.
