ScienceTechyNews: Uncovering microgel mysteries

Researchers successfully recorded the behavior of hydrogel microspheres (microgels) using a newly customized tool: the temperature-controlled high-speed atomic force microscopy. It was applied for the first time to the study of microgels by the team at Daisuke Suzuki Laboratory of Shinshu University. The study succeeded in observing the structural differences of microgels in differing states, which explains the variation in behavior of microgels produced under separate methods.
