Novel artificial muscles move with sound

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed artificial muscles that contain microbubbles and can be controlled with ultrasound. In the future, these muscles could be deployed in technical and medical settings as gripper arms, tissue patches, targeted drug delivery, or robots.  A stingraybot made from microbubble array artificial muscles, directed using ultrasound and capable, for example, of transporting […]
