Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend. Skeletal muscles always come in pairs, just like trainers. But there is a little bit more to it than that.

The flexibility of biohybrid robots could allow them to squeeze and twist through areas that are too small or complex.

Scientists at MIT have created a new kind of artificial muscle that can flex and move in multiple directions, much like real ...

We move thanks to coordination among many skeletal muscle fibers, all twitching and pulling in sync. While some muscles align ...

MIT engineers 3D print multidirectional muscle tissue that flexes like the human iris - opening new paths for biohybrid ...
