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 ...

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 ...

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.

Scientists have achieved a remarkable feat – developing a gel that mimics human skin and possesses extraordinary healing properties. It features a distinctive structure made up of ultra-thin clay ...

After 24 hours, it is completely restored. The hydrogel, only one millimeter thick, contains 10,000 layers of nanosheets, giving it mechanical properties comparable to human skin.

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 ...

Researchers combined hydrogels with large, ultra-thin clay nanosheets. In an exciting scientific discovery, researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed a ...

Researchers have developed a new type of hydrogel that is not only strong but also capable of healing itself in just a few hours. This major breakthrough could pave the way for advancements in ...

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, ...
