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 muscles, or actuators, provide the performance and mechanical properties required for building robotic musculoskeletal systems.Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power.

In a world-first for battery research, researchers from the University of Bayreuth and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have employed a so-called multi-agent network in battery design. This AI-based tool enables the rapid generation of promising proposals for new battery materials, thereby advancing the development of long-lasting and sustainable next-generation batteries. The researchers have reported their findings in Advanced Materials.In a world-first for battery research, researchers from the University of Bayreuth and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have employed a so-called multi-agent network in battery design.
