A team of scientists used fishing wire fibers and sewing to create artificial muscles that can be used in doctors objects, robots and human prostheses line, according to an article published in “Science” magazine.

The team, which includes researchers from universities in Canada, Australia, South Korea, Turkey, China and the United States, the article explains how to create artificial muscles that can lift hundred times more weight and generate a hundred times more potency mechanics than human muscles in bodies of the same weight and height.
“The muscles created by this team had its outside by thermal means with the changes of temperature that can produce electricity by the absorption of light or by reaction chemistry of fuels, “says the article.
team explained that compared to natural muscles, which contract approximately 20%, these artificial muscles are twitching almost 50%.
According to the magazine “Science”, the team had already done with xito artificial muscles with materials like wire and metallic carbon nanotubes, but researchers and manufacturers have concluded that their manufacturing costs so high.
On the other hand, refer to scientists, “humanoid robots, the prostheses of limbs and exoskeletons (support for muscles) Esto limited by motors and hidrulicos systems which limits the size and weight the generation of foraea capacity for work “
dexterity.
