Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ,have developed a new form of hydrogel - a water - based polymer that can look and feel like muscles and tendons.Such a gel could contain tiny electronics ,that can monitor our insides , deliver medicine or provide needed electrical stimulus .
The hydrogel is flexible , so it can bend and twist without breaking or tearing and human body is also made of similar materials so there is a little chance that our body will reject it as a foreign object.
Though , it has not yet got the approval from US Food and Drug Administration .But when it got the approval , this new hydrogel may start a new class of medical devices.
