Scientists Pump Up Lab-Grown Muscles for Robots With a New Magnetic Workout
Lab-grown tissues could one day be grafted into people with heavily damaged muscles and restore their ability to navigate the world freely. Synthetic muscles could also coat robots, providing them with human-like senses, flexible motor control, and the ability to heal after inevitable scratches and scrapes.
