Researchers have created a new type of fiber that can perform like a muscle actuator, in many ways better than other options that exist today. And, most importantly, these muscle-like fibers are ...

This approach removes a major limitation in soft robotics. Traditional fluid-driven systems rely on “heavy, bulky, oftentimes ...

Every movement your body makes depends on a microscopic chemical balance within individual cells. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed a high-sensitivity method to analyze ...

(Nanowerk News) Prof. Sang Ouk Kim’s group at KAIST has developed a new type of artificial muscle fiber based on graphene-liquid crystal elastomer composites. This new artificial muscle has been ...

The first cellular human and mouse map focused on muscle fibers and their microenvironment has revealed both the mechanisms of deterioration of this tissue over time and its adaptive capacity for ...

Previous studies have shown that, in obesity, deposition of lipid droplets in skeletal muscles and changes of muscle fiber types can both contribute to insulin resistance. However, the relationship ...

(Nanowerk News) Mimicking the human body, specifically the actuators that control muscle movement, is of immense interest around the globe. In recent years, it has led to many innovations to improve ...
