Researchers designed bioinspired hydrogels capable of using sunlight to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water. Hydrogels contain polymer networks that facilitate energy conversion, offering a ...

Hydrogels are materials that have properties similar to biological tissue, making them ideal for use in medical devices. They are water-swollen and cross-linked polymeric networks that can retain a ...

Hydrogels are characterized by their hydrophilic nature and 3D network structure, possessing the unique ability to absorb significant amounts of water or biological fluids. This feature makes them ...

Low-methoxy (LM) pectin gels have gained momentum in tissue engineering and drug delivery in recent years due to their excellent biocompatibility. LM pectin forms stable hydrogels by forming ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come with serious drawbacks. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have created a ...
