Until now, artificial gels could either mimic skin’s stiffness or its self-healing ability, but not both. A research team from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth has now overcome this ...

Furthermore, a one-millimetre-thick hydrogel contains 10,000 layers of nanosheets, which makes the material as stiff as human skin, and gives it a comparable degree of stretch and flexibility.

This mixture was then exposed to UV radiation, similar to setting gel nail polish. The UV light facilitated the bonding of molecules, forming a flexible, skin-like hydrogel. In this gel, layers of ...

Now, researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed a hydrogel that overcomes this limitation, offering new possibilities for artificial skin, wound healing ...

Researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed a hydrogel that combines high stiffness with self-healing properties, overcoming previous limitations. This development ...

In an exciting scientific discovery, researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed a revolutionary self-healing hydrogel that mimics the qualities of human skin.

This major breakthrough could pave the way for advancements in artificial skin, robotics, and medical treatments. Researchers have developed a new type of hydrogel that is not only strong but also ...

In a significant leap forward, scientists from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have created an innovative hydrogel that unites the stiffness and self-healing properties of human skin, ...
