medical devices

University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering PhD candidate Changxu Sun holds up a small malva nut and a submerged one to demonstrate how much it swells in water. Sun is harnessing this “natural hydrogel” to create new medical devices.

MIT engineers developed a metal-free, Jell-O-like material that is as soft and tough as biological tissue and can conduct electricity similarly to conventional metals. The new material, which is a type of high-performance conducting polymer hydrogel, may one day replace metals in the electrodes of medical devices. Credits:Image: Felice Frankel
