Scientists from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have created a groundbreaking hydrogel that replicates human skin’s strength, flexibility, and self-healing powers. Composed of clay nanosheets and polymer networks, it’s durable yet flexible, healing 90% of cuts in just 4 hours and fully recovering within 24 hours. This innovation could transform wound healing, artificial skin, robotics, and drug delivery, opening up exciting new possibilities for medicine and technology.
