Hydrogels are characterized by their hydrophilic nature and 3D network structure, possessing the unique ability to absorb significant amounts of water or biological fluids. This feature makes them ...

Researchers have discovered that methylcellulose hydrogels form unexpectedly stiff bundles, overturning a decade-old structural model. Separately, a bioactive CGB hydrogel can be 3D printed as ...

A 3D-printed gel that bends, grips, and changes shape with magnets could help build robots and medical tools for drug ...

Researchers have developed a hydrogel that can be shaped while organoids develop, instructing them to form in a more comparable shape to their in vivo organ counterparts. In the 10 years that have ...

A new study reveals how combining biochar with advanced hydrogels can dramatically improve solar-driven water evaporation, offering a promising ...
