(Nanowerk News) Empa researchers are working on artificial muscles that can keep up with the real thing. They have now developed a method of producing the soft and elastic, yet powerful structures ...

Swedish researchers have developed a breakthrough 3D printing method to create soft actuators. These dielectric elastic ...

One of the most famous fossils in human evolutionary history is known as “Lucy,” who belonged to an extinct species called Australopithecus afarensis—an early relative of Homo sapiens who was among ...

On November 10, 2025, scientists achieved a significant milestone in the field of biotechnology by 3D printing muscle tissue in microgravity. This groundbreaking experiment was conducted with the ...

Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH Zurich have now established. "3D printing" refers to a type of manufacturing ...

Bionic arms used to cost more than a new car. Today, that's no longer the case. Unlimited Tomorrow is making 3D-printed prosthetics available for under $8,000 and doing it without sacrificing quality, ...

Scientists have obtained the first high-resolution 3D image of nebulin, a giant actin-binding protein that is an essential component of skeletal muscle. This discovery has brought to light the chance ...
