A common hydrogel may be built differently than assumed, with big implications for mechanics
A study led by Northwestern University researchers has reported a way to observe hydrogel nano and microstructure while the hydrogel remains fully solvated. The approach reveals that methylcellulose, ...
A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and ...
A newly developed hydrogel can safely remove microplastics from water, a study reveals. The study is published in Nanoscale, and it highlights the importance of finding new ways to remove these ...
Researchers have developed a hydrogel implant that can help prevent endometriosis, a condition that affects a great many women. This innovation also acts as a contraceptive. Researchers from ETH ...
A team of scientists has developed a novel hydrogel solar panel coating that is reportedly capable of lowering hot spot temperatures by up to 16.2 C, outperforming conventional hydrogels. The hydrogel ...
