Fatigue‐Resistant Mechanoresponsive Color‐Changing Hydrogels for Vision‐Based Tactile Robots (Adv. Mater. 49/2025)

Color-Changing Hydrogels Mechanoresponsive color-changing materials capable of reversible and durable optical responses to stress are highly desirable for diverse modern technologies in optics, sensors, and robots. Researchers at Michigan State University report a fatigue-resistant mechanoresponsive color-changing hydrogel that exhibits reversible, resilient, and predictable color changes under mechanical stress, enabling enhanced tactile sensing of robots for gentle handling of soft and fragile objects. More details can be found in the Research Article by Shaoting Lin and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202407925).
