To thin them, gently grasp the weaker ones at the base and carefully pull them out or snip them with clean shears at the soil line. Space them according to the plant's requirements and discard the ...

Stanford researchers recently announced promising animal studies for a hydrogel they developed to prevent post-surgery ...

The researchers collaborated with study co-author and associate professor of materials science and engineering Eric Appel, PhD, to design a biomaterial called a shear-thinning hydrogel that flows like ...

Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight ...

Many of the biomaterials are designed to be shear-thinning and self-healing through the incorporation of dynamic and reversible interactions of polymers or microparticles. Biomaterials from the group ...
