MIT Team Develops Simple and Economical Approach for Creating Bending Artificial Muscle Fibers

Artificial muscles - materials that contract and expand in a similar manner like muscle fibers do - can have many applications, from robotics to components in the aviation and automobile sectors. Recently, a team of MIT researchers have developed one of the simplest and economical systems yet to create such “muscles,” in which a material recreates a few of the bending motions that natural muscle tissues perform.
