Their proposed solution: artificial “skin” made of 3D-printed hydrogel layers held together by living human cells. Though still in the early stages of development, the researchers believe this ...

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.

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.

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 ...

A team of researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth has changed that with a breakthrough hydrogel that mimics the resilience and healing power of human skin. Published in ...

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 ...

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate this high stiffness or natural skin’s self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers from Aalto University and the ...
