Later in the science section we will discuss artificial muscles in more detail, but we didn’t want to pass up this interesting article:
Scientists have designed a flexible, yarnlike artificial muscle that can also pack a punch. It can contract in 25 milliseconds—a fraction of the time it takes to blink an eye—and can generate power 85 times as great as a similarly sized human muscle.
Carbon Nano tubes are amazing little buggers, and we’ll cover them in more detail later, but this was to good to pass up. This is fairly new, but pretty interesting.
