The ideal material for interfacing electronics with living tissue is soft, stretchable, and just as water-loving as the tissue itself--in short, a hydrogel. Semiconductors, the key materials for ...

Hydrogels contain polymer networks that facilitate energy conversion, offering a breakthrough approach to generating renewable hydrogen energy. This research shows how polymer-based systems could ...

The fit and feel of contact lenses are very nuanced, and it can take some trial and error to make sure they’re just right. You want lenses that offer precise vision ...

They are usually soft and weak, but can be made hard and tough. Hydrogels are gels that have water as their main constituent. Biomolecular condensates provide a useful platform for a range of ...

Prof. Sihong Wang have developed a hydrogel that retains the semiconductive ability needed to transmit information between living tissue and machine, which can be used both in implantable medical ...

Brands such as Bausch & Lomb, CooperVision, Alcon, and Johnson & Johnson's Acuvue series provide clear ... which is a monthly disposable lens and is priced at INR 1,499 for a box of six lenses. Their ...

For those looking for a long-lasting, velvety touch, silicone-based lubricants are the preferred choice. Unlike water-based variants, these do not evaporate or get absorbed into the skin ...
