A new recipe, or design guidelines, for a self-strengthening muscle-like hydrogel has been developed through strategic integration of computational, information, and experimental research. The ...
Electroactive polymer actuators represent a rapidly evolving field in materials science, where electrically induced deformations in polymers are harnessed to produce controlled mechanical motion.
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 ...
Dual cross-linked polymer design enables soft artificial muscles with record work density and strain
A dual cross-linked magnetic polymer solves the fundamental trade-off limiting soft artificial muscles, achieving unprecedented combinations of stretchability, force output, and shape-programming ...
New Harvard 3D printing technique builds twistable, bendable robotic muscles in a single print with programmed movement logic ...
