Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...

The development of self-healing biodegradable materials has wobbled forwards thanks to researchers at the University of Cambridge (UK), who have produced a ‘jelly-like’ material with properties far in ...
