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

A research team from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth has now overcome this limitation. They have developed a hydrogel with a unique structure that combines strength and self-repair, ...

Now, a team of researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth are the first to develop a hydrogel with a unique structure that overcomes earlier limitations, opening the door to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

The healing process is phenomenally fast. The hydrogel is 80-90% repaired within the first four hours of being cut and wholly restored after twenty-four hours. The hydrogel has around 10,000 ...

Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique structure that overcomes earlier limitations, opening the door to applications such as drug delivery, wound healing, soft robotics ...
