In context: Making robots more biologically compatible has been a challenge scientists have been tackling for years. Until now, they have primarily been able to create lab-grown muscle fibers that ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...

MIT engineers have pushed biohybrid robotics into a new era with lab-grown muscles that don’t just twitch robotic parts but amplify them with serious power. In a breakthrough that reimagines how ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been built by a team at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

Inside a lab in Zurich at ETH’s Institute of Human Movement Sciences, researchers are growing beef—not on farms, but in petri dishes. It’s not the first time researchers have cultivated meat in the ...

Beef is growing in the Petri dishes of ETH professor Ori Bar-Nur, an expert in regenerative and muscle biology. However, he hasn't yet tasted the cultivated meat because human consumption requires ...

In a significant leap toward sustainable food innovation, scientists at the University of Tokyo have created the most realistic lab-grown chicken to date, complete with muscle texture and structure ...

MIT engineers grew an artificial, muscle-powered structure that pulls both concentrically and radially, much like how the iris in the human eye acts to dilate and constrict the pupil. We move thanks ...

The complex combination of movements required for this simple scissor gesture is a big step up from the capabilities of previous biohybrid robots. A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a ...
