Soft material-based actuators, in particular, have gotten a lot of attention in the scientific community in recent years because of their lightweight, quiet operation, and biodegradability.
Breisgau [Germany], January 31 (ANI): A team of researchers has developed an artificial muscle only on the basis of natural proteins which can be controlled with the help of pH and temperature changes.
Washington D.C [USA], Mar 4 (ANI): Spider silk, known as one of the strongest materials for its weight, turns out to have another unusual property. It might lead to new kinds of artificial muscles or robotic actuators, researchers have found.
