Using large-scale computer simulations, researchers have mapped out the surprising behavior and mechanics of complex particle-solvent microgel systems, learning how the “soft and squishy” particles deform, swell, de-swell, and penetrate each other as they respond to compression.

NUS researchers develop stretchable, self-healing and illuminating material for ‘invincible’ light-emitting devices
Researchers from the National University of Singapore have developed a new stretchable material that can self-heal and light up. The novel material has promising applications that include damage-proof flexible display screens and illuminating electronic skin for autonomous soft robots.
