Synthetic 'muscle' with microfluidic blood vessels shows promise for soft robotics
Researchers are continuing to make progress on developing a new synthetic material that behaves like biological muscle, an ...
Our muscles are nature’s actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate “biohybrid robots” made ...
Dual cross-linked polymer design enables soft artificial muscles with record work density and strain
A dual cross-linked magnetic polymer solves the fundamental trade-off limiting soft artificial muscles, achieving ...
The macroscopic movement of our muscles is caused by the collective movement of “biomolecular motors”. Scientists and engineers have long been trying to imitate this process. French scientists have ...
