artificially grown muscle fibers. Such bio-bots could squirm and wiggle through spaces where traditional machines cannot. For the most part, however, researchers have only been able to fabricate ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – almost like real, living muscle tissue. In other words, they have found a way ...

A new process, named STAMP, from MIT which uses 3D printing could help researchers to properly align fibers in artificial ...

They grew along these grooves into fibers over the course of a day, and subsequently into a muscle roughly the same size as a human iris. The researchers then stimulated this artificial muscle ...

Understanding our muscle makeup is a key step towards improving regenerative medicine for neuromuscular diseases. But it has been difficult to quantify aspects of how muscles have changed, including ...

The researchers fabricated the artificial iris using a new "stamping ... When the researchers stimulated the fibers, the muscle contracted in multiple directions, following the fibers' orientation.

In other words, they have found a way to grow artificial muscle that can flex in multiple ... It consists of an inner set of concentric circular fibers and an outer layer of radiating fibers.
