A research team has recently published a study titled "Topology, dynamics, and control of a muscle-architected soft arm," in ...

A research team, led by Professor Hoon Eui Jeong from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UNIST has introduced an innovative magnetic composite artificial muscle, showcasing an impressive ...

Eggs pop out of ovaries. But what propels them has been unknown. Now, researchers from the University of Connecticut explain in an article published in the September 18 issue of the Proceedings of the ...

“In practical terms, eccentric movements happen during the 'lowering' phase of an exercise. They are important for muscle ...

There are stretches for flexibility and then there are their lesser-discussed counterparts: mobility exercises. Just like we ...

We lose power more quickly than strength as we get older. Researchers are trying to understand why—and how to fight back.
