Dubbed CPPY@LiCl, the hydrosponge is capable of trapping and releasing water without using any external power supply.

Researchers have developed microneedle sensors for plants before, with some drawbacks. For instance, one microneedle patch designed to detect hydrogen peroxide uses colorimetric methods. This is ...

Recognizing this, researchers have innovatively combined multiple materials to create a new generation of versatile hydrogels in a study published in Small. This cutting-edge nanocomposite ...

Its porous structure helps retain both nutrients and water. When combined with biodegradable polymers like chitosan in a semi-IPN structure, biochar-based SRFs can further improve nutrient release ...
