UBC researchers found that the movement of ions through hydrogels produces electric currents
Skin and gelatin have a lot more in common than you might think.
Researchers from UBC have found that gelatin — and other hydrogels — use ions to carry an electrical charge that generates a voltage when touched. In a new paper published in the journal Science, the researchers explain the science behind the phenomenon and its potential uses.
