Researchers from SUTD and HUJI have developed the most stretchable 3D printed hydrogel in the world -- it can be stretched up to 1300 percent. The hydrogel is also suitable for UV curing based 3D ...

An international team of researchers has embedded gold nanorods in hydrogels that can be processed through 3D printing to create structures that contract when exposed to light -- and expand again when ...

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 ...

Researchers have 3-D printed a detailed replica of an individual’s full-sized adult human heart out of a seaweed-derived hydrogel (ACS Biomater. Sci. Eng. 2020, DOI: 10.1021/acsbiomaterials.0c01133).

A new 3D printing method uses light to form hydrogels without free radicals, enabling safer biofabrication with fine detail and compatibility for sensitive materials like proteins and soft tissues.
