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 ...

Researchers reveal the way our legs adapt to fast movements. When people hop at high speeds, key muscle fibers in the calf shorten rather than lengthen as forces increase, which they call 'negative ...

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

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 ...

You don’t need to spend hours at the gym to build strength. With just a few multi-muscle compound exercises and a set of dumbbells, you can work your body, develop your core, and boost your metabolism ...

During the night, the body performs its quietest work. While we sleep, muscles loosen, the nervous system slows down, core ...

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 ...
