AI-Designed Hydrogel Inspired by Nature Creates Ultra-Strong Underwater Adhesive
Scientific AmericanFriday, August 8, 2025 at 8:00:00 PM
Scientists have developed a new ultra-strong underwater adhesive made from an AI-designed hydrogel that mimics natural materials. This breakthrough could revolutionize everything from fixing pipes to performing surgeries, as it works reliably even in harsh underwater conditions.
Editor’s Note: Sticky situations underwater—like repairing ships or sealing leaks—just got a lot easier. This bio-inspired adhesive, crafted with AI, could make underwater repairs faster, cheaper, and more durable, while also opening doors for medical applications. Nature (with a little AI help) strikes again!
