New hydrogel evolves with living tissue for advanced BCIs and robots

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel light-activated hydrogel capable of evolving alongside living tissue. This innovation holds potential for creating more adaptable brain-computer interfaces and advanced robotics. The hydrogel's design allows for triggered folding and self-assembly, enabling it to integrate with and mimic the behavior of living cells, such as in vitro-formed skin-equivalent tissue. AI

IMPACT This material could enable more sophisticated and integrated robotic systems and brain-computer interfaces.
