Self-healing hydrogels open a new realm of bioengineering possibilities
Scientists at University of California have successfully managed to engineer a new kind of hydrogels, capable of self-healing, which can bind to each other in acidic conditions within seconds, forming a strong bond that allows for repeated streathching, similar to organic tissue, like the human skin. Hydrogels are made out of a network of hydrophilic [...]
