Researchers have developed a chemical structure for an artificial muscle that can lift up to 4,000 times its weight, and they ...

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

In a groundbreaking leap for robotics, scientists have developed artificial muscles that can empower humanoid robots to lift weights previously ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

South Korean researchers develop fabric muscles for lightweight wearable robots that move naturally with the human body.

Researchers at South Korea’s UNIST have developed a groundbreaking artificial muscle capable of lifting 4,000 times its own ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound.

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 ...

Swedish researchers have developed a breakthrough 3D printing method to create soft actuators. These dielectric elastic actuators (DEA) are made from silicone-based materials, combining conductive ...

(Nanowerk News) We move thanks to coordination among many skeletal muscle fibers, all twitching and pulling in sync. While some muscles align in one direction, others form intricate patterns, helping ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound.

Demonstrating 3 times greater actuation stroke and 2 times higher work capacity than existing photochemical actuators, the new light-responsive springs outperform mammalian muscles and enable ...
