Building muscle isn’t as simple as just lifting heavy things and hoping for the best. Gaining muscle is not so much about ...

Computational modeling of skeletal muscle mechanics integrates advanced numerical methods with experimental data to simulate the complex behaviours of muscle tissue. These models, often employing ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

Researchers have developed a mathematical model that can predict the optimum exercise regime for building muscle. Researchers have developed a mathematical model that can predict the optimum exercise ...

When robots are built with biological materials, they have the potential to achieve remarkable behaviors typically only seen ...

Lipton and his colleagues have created a new class of deployable structures that could one day be used to create artificial ...

Mechanical vibrations could help improve our muscles and our balance control, according to research at Aston University. Researchers in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences have examined ...

There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science ...

When you push up a hill or race along a straightaway, both your upper-body and lower-body muscles are relying on power and strength to move the bike against gravity and resistance. Surprised to learn ...
