Scientists create novel artificial muscles
The 3D-printing of muscle fibers featured in HBO's sci-fi drama Westworld is truly awe-inspiring. The carbon materials, celebrated for their light weight, superior strength, outstanding electrical conductivity and pliability, have shown great potential in the realm of artificial muscles. While cyborgs demonstrate significant market potential, artificial muscles truly stand out. Amidst an aging population, artificial muscle technology has become increasingly valuable across assistive devices, wearables and diverse medical applications. The scientists have successfully incorporated the artificial muscle into a robotic arm, granting it the ability to swiftly change its position and lift loads weighing up to 11 times heavier than itself.
