Non-living hydrogels can play the video game Pong and improve their gameplay with more experience, researchers report August 23 in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports Physical Science. The researchers ...

The field of soft electronics has seen remarkable progress, with conductive hydrogels standing out as pivotal materials for stretchable electronic devices.

Researchers have developed a hydrogel that heals and strengthens itself as it is overloaded and damaged. The proof-of-concept demonstration could lead to improved performance for situations where soft ...
