Artificial Muscles Powered By High-Power Fuels
Posted on Fri, 2006-03-17 01:03 
Nanotechnologists from the University of Texas at Dallas have made artificial muscles that are 100 times stronger than natural muscles. These muscles are fuled by alcohol and hydrogen.
These muscles could enable fuel-powered artificial limbs, "smart skins" and morphing structures for air and marine vehicles, autonomous robots having very long mission capabilities and smart sensors that detect and self-actuate to change the environment.
