You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH Zurich have now established. "3D printing" refers to a type of manufacturing ...

(Nanowerk News) Empa researchers are working on artificial muscles that can keep up with the real thing. They have now developed a method of producing the soft and elastic, yet powerful structures ...

In a leap that could reshape how scientists study the human body in space, researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully 3D printed muscle tissue in conditions mimicking weightlessness. The achievement ...

A 3D printer that can produce complex systems of bendy and rigid materials, such as a robotic hand or an artificial heart, could be used to make more lifelike robots. Robert Katzschmann at the Swiss ...

Bionic arms used to cost more than a new car. Today, that's no longer the case. Unlimited Tomorrow is making 3D-printed prosthetics available for under $8,000 and doing it without sacrificing quality, ...

The printed "muscles" must be as soft as possible so that an electrical stimulus can cause the required deformation. Added to this are the requirements that all 3D printable materials must fulfill: ...
