Ph.D. student Junho Moon’s paper, “Clickable Microgel Inks Enable Spatioselective, Multi-Stimuli Programmable Assembly of Materials” has been published in Advanced Science. In this paper, a new modular concept for constructing shape morphing hydrogels with selectively programmable responses to multiple stimuli was proposed. By encoding stimuli-specific domains through direct ink writing, this responsive, clickable ink allows precise spatial patterning of differential responses in a single processing step, offering a scalable and facile route for constructing programmable hydrogel architectures with stimuli-selective shape morphing.
