Hydrogel switches from liquid to gel at body temperature, enabling easy removal
Phys.org • 12/8/2025 • Last cited 12/14/2025
Summary
Researchers have developed a hydrogel that transitions from liquid to gel at body temperature, allowing for temporary solidification to record nerve signals or aid in healing, and can be easily returned to liquid form for removal, according to Phys.org. This innovation could enhance medical procedures involving electrical conductivity within the body.
