The human body is a wonderous thing, especially when you consider how intricate and efficient each bodily system is. For instance, an adult’s blood vessels could encircle the earth 2.5 times if ...

In a significant stride forward in the field of bio-inspired robotics, researchers have engineered artificial muscles powered by artificial intelligence (AI). These muscles, made from materials that ...

Several muscles could be called the "largest" in the body, depending on whether you're talking mass or surface area, but the body's smallest muscle has no competition. When you purchase through links ...

As you bite into a crisp apple, your jaw muscle contracts, allowing you to grind the fruit between your teeth. When you climb a flight of stairs, your gluteus maximus (or "glutes") push your body ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

The heart is the body's hardest-working muscle. Whether you're awake or asleep, or exercising or resting, your heart is always at work. It pumps blood through arteries to deliver oxygen to organs and ...

The first comprehensive cell atlas of aging human muscle reveals the intricate genetic and cellular processes behind muscle deterioration and mechanisms to counteract it. How muscle changes with ...

A research consortium made a recent discovery that the natural molecule trigonelline present in coffee, fenugreek, and also in the human body, can help to improve muscle health and function. A ...

On Wednesday, Clone Robotics released video footage of its Protoclone humanoid robot, a full-body machine that uses synthetic muscles to create unsettlingly human-like movements. In the video, the ...
