While human skin shares gel-like characteristics, it has unique qualities that are very hard to replicate. It combines high stiffness with flexibility, and it has remarkable self-healing ...

And while some are totally bunk, others legitimately work. So, we were intrigued when we saw a new gel sheet mask making the rounds on TikTok and noticed that the same mask was trending on Amazon ...

The hydrogel has a unique structure, making it the first to combine strength and flexibility with self-healing capabilities. We all encounter gels in daily life – from the soft, sticky ...

A recent article published in Advanced Functional Materials investigated the friction behavior of surfaces coated with surface-attached hydrogel layers. These natural synovial-joint structure-inspired ...

Researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed a hydrogel that combines high stiffness with self-healing properties, overcoming previous limitations. This development ...

Anyone who’s active on TikTok and plugged into the skincare algorithm has probably been served countless ‘it products.’ It seems like every other week, some new tool, moisturizer, or lip mask goes ...

Many body washes contain chemical exfoliants like salicylic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin to clear up acne and prevent any incoming breakouts, as well as other skin-saving ingredients.

This easy-to-apply deodorant gel is completely clear, and a little more watery than your typical stick, which makes it way easy to apply and get full coverage with less product needed. It comes in ...

While the soft mechanics and tunable cell interactions facilitated by hydrogels have attracted significant interest in the development of functional hydrogel-based tissue engineering scaffolds, ...

either as a standalone element or embedded in a hydrogel matrix. In any case, the degree of control over the resulting structure is orders of magnitude above what is achievable with the ...
