The human body is a wonderous thing, especially when you consider how intricate and efficient each bodily system is. For instance, an adult’s blood vessels could encircle the earth 2.5 times if ...

ETH Zurich 3D printed human muscle in microgravity, advancing space bioprinting and biomedical research beyond Earth.

Much like our brains, human muscles have evolved several times more rapidly than primate muscles, according to a new study — but that process has made us weaker over time in a process, while brains ...

To work toward getting around this issue, researchers used parabolic flights to simulate microgravity conditions, then 3D ...

In a significant stride forward in the field of bio-inspired robotics, researchers have engineered artificial muscles powered ...

As promising a technology as artificial muscles have been, most of the time they’re still a bit too artificial, often made of plastics, nylon, rubber, waxy carbon nanotubes and the like. That might ...

In news that seems like it just might lead to a strange new superhero, Japanese scientists say cultured human muscle cells can stay swole with an injection of, well, bear serum. The secret, according ...

This can be a problem for many reasons, because skeletal muscle is far more than the tissue that helps us move. It plays a crucial role in metabolic health, regulating blood sugar and healthy ageing.

Once again, scientists have created something to give humanoid robots skills that no human possesses without asking themselves if it is truly a good idea.

(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 little pigs bouncing around the lab looked exceedingly normal. Yet their adorable exterior hid a remarkable secret: each piglet carried two different sets of genes. For now, both sets came from ...
