The Madman : How I Became a Madman

The Madman :: How I Became a Madman You ask me how I became a madman. It happened thus: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found all my masks were stolen — the seven masks I have fashioned and worn in seven lives, — I ran maskless through the crowded streets shouting, “Thieves, thieves, the curséd thieves.”Men and women laughed at me and some ran to their houses in fear of me. And when I reached the market place, a youth standing on a house

Highly stretchable and tough hydrogels

Highly stretchable and tough hydrogels : Nature : Nature Publishing Group Hydrogels are used as scaffolds for tissue engineering, vehicles for drug delivery, actuators for optics and fluidics, and model extracellular matrices for biological studies. The scope of hydrogel applications, however, is often severely limited by their mechanical behaviour. Most hydrogels do not exhibit high stretchability; for example, an alginate hydrogel ruptures when stretched to about 1.2 times
