As much as a third of the world’s population does not have access to clean drinking water, according to some estimates, and half of the…
Vaccines have curtailed the spread of several infectious diseases, such as smallpox, polio and measles. However, vaccines against some diseases, including HIV-1, influenza and malaria,…
Getting glued in the sea: New bio-inspired hydrogels can act like superglue in highly ionic environments such as seawater, overcoming issues in currently available marine…
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have found a way to direct the growth of hydrogel, a jelly-like…
In a newly published study, biomolecular engineers and doctors demonstrated a therapeutic material that could one day promote better tissue regeneration following a wound or…
A team of engineers from MIT has developed transparent, gel-based robots that may one day assist in surgical operations and evade underwater detection. Engineers at…
Engineers from MIT have developed a method to make synthetic, sticky hydrogel that is more than 90 percent water. The hydrogel, which is a transparent,…
Using a new porous hydrogel, scientists have experimentally improved bone repair by boosting the survival rate of transplanted stem cells and influencing their cell differentiation….
Researchers from MIT have developed a new process that uses 3D printing to produce complex hydrogel structures that are “extremely tough and robust.” Researchers have…
A new metamaterial created by researchers at Cornell University, is soft enough that it can flow like a liquid, but can then it can return…
Hydrogels have been in the marketplace for a long time, offering diverse properties that make them ideal for applications on a number of consumer products….
