Researchers from 3B’s Research Group, UMinho, in collaboration with University of Stanford, developed a new class of natural sugar-based hydrogel optical fibers

last updated: 2022-03-07

In a recent work published in the front cover of Advanced Materials, researchers from 3B’s Research Group, University of Minho, in collaboration with Canary Center for Cancer Early Detection, University of Stanford, developed a new class of natural sugar-based hydrogel optical fibers. These flexible hydrogel structures enable the optical detection of processes such as mechanical deformation and the presence of biotargets such as SARS-CoV-2 viruses. Moreover, these innovative fibers can guide light while simultaneously transporting living entities, as human cells.
