New Material That Could Strengthen the More it Experiences Stress
Imagine a world where people wears exosuits to augment their physical capabilities in the same way that one wears glasses to enhance sight...
Researchers say their work could help with the development of self-growing gel materials for applications as flexible exosuits for patients with skeletal injuries; these suits would potentially become stronger and more functional the more they are used.
"Since many types of DN gels have similar mechanical features, this process could be applied to a wide range of gels, expanding the range of potential applications."
