Scientists discover that muscles repair themselves by moving thousands of internal nuclei, a rapid process that is key after ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a method to restore astoundingly natural movement in people who have had leg amputations above the knee. Rather than fit ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world ...

Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern University engineers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The new ...

Women are at higher risk of bone loss than men. But a few simple workouts can help to keep your skeleton strong and resilient. By Danielle Friedman When Barbara Hannah Grufferman was in her early 50s, ...

Aging may be inevitable, but getting more fragile and weaker definitely doesn’t have to be. As we age, maintaining muscle mass, mobility, and balance becomes more important than ever for supporting ...

Your 50s are a crucial decade for bone health. After age 50, bone breakdown outpaces bone formation, accelerating the speed of bone loss. This doesn't mean you're doomed to have brittle bones as you ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...
