If only we had artificial muscles. Artificial muscles are, by generally accepted definition, a device or material that can reversibly change its shape as a response to an external stimulus.

The study, led by Dr. Cheng-Hui Li from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University, and Dr. Pengfei ...

The artificial muscles developed through this advancement exhibit extraordinary adaptability, modifying their stiffness by up to 2,700 times and achieving more than eightfold increases in softness.

This study presents a biocompatible artificial muscle that replicates natural muscle functions, enhancing prospects for ...

It may open the door to new ways to treat and perhaps someday cure heart failure, the deadliest non-communicable disease on ...

(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 ...

“The field of soft robotics hadn’t even been born when I started researching artificial muscle technology in 2004,” he says. “But now, we have collaborators in Japanese industries looking ...

A research team co-led by a physician-scientist at the University of Arizona College of Medicine—Tucson's Sarver Heart Center ...

In a pioneering study at the University of Arizona, researchers discovered that some patients with artificial hearts show ...

The new study involved analysing genes from younger (aged 21-43) and older (aged 63-79) adults that were related to both muscle ageing and resistance exercise. Using Artificial Intelligence the ...

Physician-scientists found that a subset of artificial heart patients can regenerate heart muscle, which may open the door to new ways to treat and perhaps someday cure heart failure. A research ...
