Researchers have developed a new type of hydrogel that’s soft and biocompatible and possesses remarkable semiconducting properties.

The material possesses exceptional mechanical properties, including a tissue-like softness of 81 kPa and a remarkable stretchability of 150% .

It demonstrates electrical conductivity, with a charge-carrier mobility reaching 1.4 cm2 V-1 s-1.

It can lead to the creation of advanced brain-machine interfaces, biosensors, and pacemakers.
