This dual cross-linking design lets the muscle switch stiffness on demand. In lab tests, its stiffness jumps from about 213 ...

Researchers at South Korea’s UNIST have developed a groundbreaking artificial muscle capable of lifting 4,000 times its own weight — a major leap forward for humanoid robots and soft robotics ...

Artificial muscle tissue might sound like the work of science fiction, but that may not be the case anymore. As described in a recent paper in Advanced Intelligent Systems, researchers outline the ...

The double helix of DNA is one of the most iconic symbols in science. By imitating the structure of this complex genetic molecule we have found a way to make artificial muscle fibers far more powerful ...

It has been a long endeavor to create biohybrid robots – machines powered by lab-grown muscle as potential actuators. The flexibility of biohybrid robots could allow them to squeeze and twist through ...

"Muscle shirt" may soon take on a whole new meaning if new research out of Washington University in St. Louis pans out. A team has found a way to use bacteria to produce synthetic muscle proteins, ...

(Nanowerk News) Would you wear clothing made of muscle fibers? Use them to tie your shoes or even wear them as a belt? It may sound a bit odd, but if those fibers could endure more energy before ...

(Nanowerk News) Soft robots, medical devices, and wearable devices have permeated our daily lives. KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) researchers have developed a fluid switch ...

Striving to stand out in the competitive humanoid robotics market, Polish-frim Clone Robotics has unveiled its first full-scale humanoid robot, Clone Alpha. The humanoid integrates synthetic organs ...

(A) A summary plot illustrating the elastic modulus range of the artificial muscle compared to representative biological tissues, highlighting the biomimetic mechanical properties of the artificial ...

Researchers have developed a new type of artificial muscle that’s entirely made out of natural proteins. Responding to changes in its environment allows the muscle to flex on demand, which could make ...

It’s about time for the mechanics inside digital cameras to get a technological overhaul, and a start-up named Artificial Muscle is aiming to do just that with some new actuators. The actuators are ...
