While the soft mechanics and tunable cell interactions facilitated by hydrogels have attracted significant interest in the development of functional hydrogel-based tissue engineering scaffolds, ...

Hydrogels are soft materials consisting of polymer networks and water. They are permeable to substances smaller than their network mesh size and have applications in biomaterials, contact lenses ...

We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. This might be a hot take, but I’d say that hydrogel masks are the best kinds of sheet masks out there—full stop. Sure ...

Uniaxial tensile test of DN-H 2 O and DN-DAC. Credit: Nature Materials (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41563-025-02137-6 One drawback to double-network hydrogels, and hydrogels in general, is that once the ...

They are usually soft and weak, but can be made hard and tough. Hydrogels are gels that have water as their main constituent. The authors study experimentally the impact on rigid surfaces of soft ...

A new system using biomass-based hydrogels can extract drinkable water from the air, even in dry conditions, by converting natural materials like food scraps and seashells into efficient sorbents.

Looking for the best mesh Wi-Fi system? Want to speed up your internet? Tired of your smart speaker not working? You’re in the right place. Mesh networks are smart home devices designed to eliminate ...

This is a common issue, and one of the best solutions is investing in a mesh Wi-Fi system. Unlike a standard router, which relies on a single device to cover your home, a mesh Wi-Fi system ...
