Fashion and biomechanics all-in-one: here are the clothes with super muscles
Biomechanics enters the wardrobe: artificial silicone muscles for clothes that give strength. A more autonomous future for the weakest.

Traditional cell cultures are two-dimensional and unreliable: a new muscle tissue built using silk promises to give us a credible model.
The artificial muscles developed by the Linköping University team are made of polymeric material into which enzymes have been introduced: a solution of oxygen and glucose in water powers the actuators, just as happens in human muscles.
