Engineers designed modular, spring-like devices to maximize the work of live muscle fibers so they can be harnessed to power biohybrid robots. Our muscles are nature's perfect actuators -- devices ...

MIT has recently unveiled a novel design concept focusing on the development of flexible skeletons tailored for soft, muscle-powered robots. Engineers have long been intrigued by the potential of ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

The film discusses the human skeleton and muscles through the perspective of a college student explaining to his younger brother. It covers the structure and function of bones, including their ...

Your muscles and bones work together to support your movement. A tendon is what attaches muscle to bone. They link your bones and muscles and allow them to move together during activity. Tendons ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a two-legged biohybrid robot, combining an artificial skeleton with biological muscle, which is capable of walking and pivoting underwater. Typical ...

Research has shown that, when performed properly and under supervision, neuromuscular exercises improve agility, balance, ...

A newly developed imaging technique has enabled scientists to map microscopic fiber networks in the brain, muscles, and bones ...

A scheme using training, action research and family workshops has resulted in huge leaps for children's physical d. By Helen ...
