Researchers have developed a novel class of super-adhesive hydrogels, capable of maintaining exceptional stickiness in demanding wet environments, including saltwater. This breakthrough, detailed in Nature, leverages a data-driven approach that combines biological inspiration (data mining natural adhesive proteins) with artificial intelligence (machine learning) to design materials with unprecedented adhesive strength. These new hydrogels, exhibiting over 1 megapascal (MPa) of adhesion strength underwater – approximately "10 times stronger than most soft, sticky materials under the same conditions" – hold significant promise for diverse applications in "biomedical engineering, deep-sea exploration," and industrial repair. Listen to today's episode of Adhesion Matters to learn more about the connection with ducks.
