UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering study could lead to better brain-machine interfaces, biosensors, and pacemakers ...
where it forms a flexible hydrogel. The hydrogel allows some material through, but blocks the all-important sperm, and rabbit trials showed it remained effective for at least 12 months.
A lithium-ion battery made from three droplets of hydrogel is the smallest soft battery of its kind – and it could be used in biocompatible and biodegradable implants ...
The hydrogel was evaluated in two important categories ... “Only this combination of all three components is both flexible ...
The team highlights that this new material is a single entity, combining semiconductor and hydrogel properties.
