Polymeric biomaterials have significant impact in the aged society. Biocompatible and biodegradable polymers have emerged during the past decades to promise extraordinary breakthroughs in a wide range ...

Resorting to skincare products without understanding the underlying ingredients is not ideal. A product is biocompatible if it works without interfering with the physiology of the skin, causing ...

Web-slinging arachnids already have researchers toiling away looking to replicate the remarkable properties of spider silk. Now spiders, along with their insect and crustacean arthropod cousins, have ...

In a recent development published in Engineering, researchers have introduced a novel hybrid keratin (KE) hydrogel integrated with liquid metal (LM), offering new possibilities for monitoring the ...

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created bio-compatible LED arrays that can bend, stretch, and even be implanted under the skin. While this might cause some people ...

Hydrogels are polymer materials made mostly from water. They can be used in a wide range of medical and other applications. However, previous incarnations of the materials suffered from repeated ...

A new study published in Science Advances by European scientists working in optoelectronics have created a biocompatible artificial intelligence (AI) platform that may enable a novel way for the early ...

Sophisticated medical implants, such as better prosthetics to restore sight to people with damaged retinas, will require electronics with a lot of computing power. But the powerful silicon circuits ...

New materials containing ultraviolet-absorbing molecules found in algae and reef-fish mucus could serve as nontoxic, biocompatible sunscreens (ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2015, DOI: ...

RTP Co. (Winona, MN) recently introduced UniColor universal masterbatch and precolored resin products for use in medical devices, medical packaging, pharmaceutical applications, and disposable medical ...
