However, their usefulness is sometimes limited by their inherent random and disordered nature. Researchers from the University of Tokyo&#8217;s Institute for Solid State Physics have found a way to produce a new kind of gel which overcomes this limitation. It is still malleable and adaptable like existing gels, but it has a more ordered structure, which can open up a new range of possible uses in various fields.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-12-polymer-gels.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Researchers add order to polymer gels<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gel-like materials have a wide range of applications, especially in chemistry and medicine.
