On January 14, 2004, the United States announced a new "Vision for Space Exploration," promising that humans would not only ...

Human health is the Achilles heel of space travel. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in printing complex muscle ...

As you bite into a crisp apple, your jaw muscle contracts, allowing you to grind the fruit between your teeth. When you climb a flight of stairs, your gluteus maximus (or "glutes") push your body ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have discovered that the gut's rhythmic muscle movements could help ...

VO2 max? Mile time? Experts break down the most common health metrics and reveal which ones actually best reflect on your ...

AI-powered muscles, made from lifelike materials, paired with intelligent control systems can perform motions that feels ...

But the strongest muscle by weight is the masseter, a chewing muscle in the jaw, D'Agostino said. It is small, but it has many fibers packed into it and has a perfect 90-degree insertion angle on the ...

Harvard Medical School researchers are designing next-gen robots that can flex, contract, and grow like human beings.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully 3D printed complex muscle tissue in zero gravity, paving the way for future space mission drug testing.

This dual cross-linking design lets the muscle switch stiffness on demand. In lab tests, its stiffness jumps from about 213 kilopascals — soft, like rubber — to 292 megapascals, hundreds of times ...

If cancer is a disease of overabundance, where cells divide without restraint and tumors grow despite the body's best interests, then degenerative diseases are disorders of deprivation. When ...

Inspired by the human eye, our biomedical engineering lab at Georgia Tech has designed an adaptive lens made of soft, ...
