D-printed hydrogel is soft, and sometimes it can be tough. However, could it be hard? Here, researchers from Zhejiang ...

This seed promotes a phase transition to a hard state, with numerous rigid, rod-like nanoscale crystals forming within the hydrogel matrix. The researchers created a series of PAAM/NAAC structures, ...

The hydrogel system reportedly enabled a temperature drop of 23 C, from 70 to 47 C, and a relative 12.3% power conversion efficiency (PCE) increase compared to the reference device.

This cutting-edge nanocomposite hydrogel combines alginate, temperature-sensitive polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), and NIR-II-responsive carbon nanotubes (CNTs), where alginate and ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati (IIT-G) and the Bose Institute, Kolkata have developed an advanced injectable hydrogel for localised cancer treatment. A statement ...

Long-wave infrared birefringent crystals are essential materials in infrared optical applications in fields such as infrared imaging, laser technology, and optical communications. Due to ...
