Inspired by how plants adapt to environmental changes, these artificial yarn muscles are self-adaptive to humidity and temperature changes.
The artificial muscles provide a platform for on-demand, autonomous movement @ShazedAziz @SNaficy @EdwinWHJager

It was more since two years when I had the first conversation with @GeoffreySpinks on the podcast. It was a pleasure to have this conversation again on artificial muscles inspired by DNA supercoiling. I hope you enjoy listening! #softrobots

No, it’s not a gummy bear come-to-life. This creepy-crawly creature is actually a human #fibroblast cell. A recent #NIDCR study found fibroblasts migrate using a ‘front wheel drive’ mode. Learn how the results could shed light on thwarting #cancer spread: go.usa.gov/xHvdh
