Additionally, the artificial muscle showcases exceptional shape memory and actuation performance, with actuation strains up to 600% and energy densities of 1450 J/kg. Under thermal stimulation ...

Under thermal ... "This artificial muscle combines low modulus and high toughness while successfully replicating the training enhancement and actuation functions of natural muscle, showing great ...

This study presents a biocompatible artificial muscle that replicates natural muscle functions, enhancing prospects for ...

The investigators found that patients with artificial hearts regenerated muscle cells at more than six times the rate of healthy hearts. A research team at the University of Arizona College of ...

Washington: A research team at the University of Arizona College of Medicine--Tucson's Sarver Heart Center found that a subset of artificial heart patients can regenerate heart muscle, which opens ...

Sadek led a collaboration between international experts to investigate whether heart muscles can regenerate. The project began with tissue from artificial heart patients provided by colleagues at ...

It is hard to compare the actuation rates of the gel actuators manufactured in this study with those of thermal-sensitive hydrogels or thermal phase change polymeric materials (32−42) since the ...

On the other hand, the significant progress in soft robotics has enabled the design and development of a variety of soft artificial actuators (muscles) such as pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs), ...
