University of Birmingham scientists develop ‘smart’ gel that turns from solid to liquid with UV light, resets with heat and breaks down with acid
The new foldamer-based material can change its physical state in response to different triggers, while advanced NMR techniques have allowed scientists to examine its molecular structure in unprecedented detail. Scientists at the University of Birmingham have developed a new smart material that can repeatedly switch between a solid-like gel and a flowing, liquid-like state using…
