Created from noise-resistant, conductive threads, a high-tech new smart fabric could find uses in health monitoring, sports ...

Injected into the muscle tissue via a catheter, the biocompatible platinum-iridium/silicone implants measure approximately 3 cm long (1.2 in) by 1 mm thick. Each device is equipped with two electrodes ...

In a recent article published in Gels, researchers from China developed multilayer porous plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gel artificial muscles using carbon nanotube-doped 3D-printed silicone ...

Researchers at Brown University have demonstrated that targeted electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore both voluntary movement and sensory feedback in people with chronic, ...

One of the latest trends in boutique fitness is electrifying. Literally. Called whole-body electrical muscle stimulation, or EMS, the technique requires users to wear an electrode-studded suit that ...

In-situ dual-modal detection of electrophysiology and blood oxygen levels during muscle-vascular activity necessitates an integrated monitoring system. This system includes a transparent electrode for ...

Researchers at Xi’an Jiaotong University have reported a way to bioprint three-dimensional skeletal muscle that combines realistic shape with the internal cellular alignment that gives muscle ...
