Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – ...

MIT engineers have made a breakthrough in this area—they’ve developed a method to grow muscle tissue that contracts in ...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan have developed a biohybrid robot hand powered by ...

A muscle strain, or a pulled muscle, is among the most common injuries affecting people of all ages, particularly those engaging in physical activity or sports.

Building muscle is different for everyone, but anyone can achieve it. The key is a consistent training routine, nutritious ...

Dr. Carrie Jose, in her latest Health and Wellness column, explains why one should think twice before getting cortisone shots ...

A young athlete has died at 21 after performing a high-intensity exercise.

Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis in thick muscle tissues, and the challenge of integrating biological ...

Scientists at MIT have created a new kind of artificial muscle that can flex and move in multiple directions, much like real ...
