Life-inspired physical feedback coupling in multidimensional hydrogels
Towards the new frontier of self-regulated, autonomous, and adaptive synthetic materials, DIMENSION aims to bring a breakthrough by introducing coupled physical feedback loops in multidimensional hydrogels. Physical feedback mechanisms allow remote powering and interplay with the environmental stimuli and have proven to be instrumental in achieving groundbreaking material functionalities. However, the state-of-the-art physical feedback systems are all limited to single negative feedback loops within a predefined dimensionality. Inspired by the complex responses regulated by multi-component coupled feedbacks in biological systems, I envisage unprecedented functionalities enabled by the new…
