New magnetic polymer unlocks stronger, bendier artificial muscles for soft robots
Soft robots are only as capable as the artificial muscles that drive them, and for years those muscles have forced a trade-off between strength and flexibility. A new magnetic polymer design is ...

New magnetic polymer enables stronger and more flexible artificial muscles in soft robotics
Despite their remarkable flexibility, today’s soft artificial muscles struggle to deliver meaningful force. This ...
The authors explain that unlike in Figure 4, this polymer is linked by a thioester bond, which is considerably more stable than a disulfide bond (5). Note that the reaction product has a sulfhydryl ...
A recent article in Nature Communications introduced a dually cross-linked mechanically interlocked network (MIN) of [2]rotaxane, which can dissipate stress within wrinkles without disrupting the ...
