Scientists in Sweden have created a new class of non-antibiotic hydrogel capable of fighting multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections by enhancing the skin’s natural immune defense.

The ideal material for interfacing electronics with living tissue is soft, stretchable, and just as water-loving as the tissue itself--in short, a hydrogel. Semiconductors, the key materials for ...

Advances in materials science are transforming medicine, engineering, and environmental technology. Among the most promising innovations are hydrogels—highly absorbent polymer networks with ...

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...
