(Nanowerk Spotlight) Artificial muscles hold the promise of revolutionizing fields ranging from robotics and prosthetics to biomedical devices. These lightweight, flexible materials can mimic the ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have invented a new, inexpensive method for fabricating artificial muscles for potential use in robots, in comfort-adjusting jackets that become more ...

In a recent article published in Gels, researchers from China developed multilayer porous plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gel artificial muscles using carbon nanotube-doped 3D-printed silicone ...

Are artificial muscles the future in robotics? This is a question what an international team of researchers led by the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) hope to answer as they ...

Biological muscles act as flexible actuators, generating force naturally and with an impressive range of motion. Unsurprisingly, scientists and engineers have been striving to build artificial muscles ...

MIT engineers grew an artificial, muscle-powered structure that pulls both concentrically and radially, much like how the iris in the human eye acts to dilate and constrict the pupil. We move thanks ...

Researchers in South Korea have built an artificial muscle that can lift approximately 4,000 times its own weight. They say it can be used in future humanoid robots. A key breakthrough with the muscle ...

Dublin, Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Artificial Muscle Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's ...

Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...

(Nanowerk News) We move thanks to coordination among many skeletal muscle fibers, all twitching and pulling in sync. While some muscles align in one direction, others form intricate patterns, helping ...
