3D Printed Conductive Granular Hydrogels for Medical Implants

3D Printed Conductive Granular Hydrogels for Medical Implants

The research team at the University of Washington’s McKelvey School of Engineering has invented an injectable, moldable, and 3D printed conductive granular hydrogel. The goal is to replace rigid implants made of metal or silicon with soft, body-like electrodes that can measure and stimulate biological signals. The related research findings were published on October 8 … Read more
