Robots have become one step closer to being more human-like. Researchers have developed actuators that generate movements similar to those of a bicep muscle and are also shock absorbent. This ...

A mechanism that activates specific muscles in our ears is a leftover from our evolutionary past, back when our ancestors depended more on their hearing for survival. When you purchase through links ...

Skeletons can be remarkably flexible but muscles are needed to move them. Various sports competitors and athletes are seen in action using their muscles. Muscles are used every time we move. There are ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

HALF-MAN half-machine cyborg hybrids are slowly becoming a reality after scientists were able to create working lab-grown muscles that mimic human movements, a new study has revealed. Humanoid ...

Our distant ancestors had several body parts that have become fairly useless over the course of evolution–our wisdom teeth, the tails that are present during the sixth week of gestation, and the ...

The complex combination of movements required for this simple scissor gesture is a big step up from the capabilities of previous biohybrid robots. A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a ...
