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 hydrogel has a unique structure, making it the first to combine strength and flexibility with self-healing capabilities. Artistic representation of hydrogels in a mobius-ring formed through ...

We come across different types of gels in our daily lives, such as in hair products, foods, and even in our bodies. However, human skin has unique properties that are difficult to replicate—it ...

Gels are everywhere in daily life, from hair products to the jelly-like textures in food. While human skin shares some gel-like qualities, it is uniquely difficult to replicate. Skin is both stiff and ...

Furthermore, a one-millimeter-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.

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 ...

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a ...
