Researchers have developed artificial tendons for muscle-powered robots. They attached the rubber band-like tendons (blue) to ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world, engineers have built tiny walkers, swimmers and gripping devices powered ...

What if living muscle could power machines with the same force and precision as engineered actuators? Engineers at MIT have made an advance toward that dream reality by fabricating artificial tendons ...

It’s not just muscles that need training. A little time with connectors like tendons, ligaments and joints can go a long way. It’s not just muscles that need training. A little time with connectors ...

An international team of researchers is studying how vibration applied to tendons influences how people experience physical ...

A participant jumps on the spot while wearing the team’s combination of sensors to provide test data for their analysis. Researchers at the University of Tokyo reveal the way our legs adapt to fast ...

Muscle strength is only part of the equation—learn why supporting your tendons and ligaments is essential for long-term health. h_15691691A physical therapy student demonstrates a standing heel ...

Scientists discover that muscles repair themselves by moving thousands of internal nuclei, a rapid process that is key after ...

Injure a tendon and you might not notice right away, but beware: These injuries often fail to heal properly, putting everyday ...

Our muscles are nature’s actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate “biohybrid robots” made ...
