"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, ...

Researchers are continuing to make progress on developing a new synthetic material that behaves like biological muscle, an ...

Would you wear clothing or, say, shoelaces or a belt made of muscle fibers? What if those fibers could endure more energy before breaking than cotton, silk, nylon, or even Kevlar, and be produced ...

Fuzhong Zhang, professor of energy, environmental and chemical engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering, has developed a synthetic biology platform to produce muscle fibers that are strong, ...

(Nanowerk News) Electrically powered artificial muscle fibers (EAMFs) are emerging as a revolutionary power source for advanced robotics and wearable devices. Renowned for their exceptional mechanical ...

(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 ...

In two new studies, North Carolina State University researchers designed and tested a series of textile fibers that can change shape and generate force like a muscle. In the first study, the ...

Researchers have presented a class of muscle-fiber-array-inspired pneumatic artificial muscles (MAIPAMs) consisting of active 3D elastomer-balloon arrays reinforced by a passive 2D elastomer membrane, ...

The artificial muscle is capable of 758 Joules of work per kilogram, which is 18 times higher than your biological muscles. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new window) ...
