The hand is made of a 3D-printed plastic base, with tendons of human muscle tissue which move the fingers. Until now, biohybrid devices have typically been on a much smaller scale (about 1 ...

Takeuchi led a research team that built a full-size, 18 centimeter-long biohybrid human-like hand with all five fingers driven by lab-grown human muscles. Keeping the muscles alive ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a robotic hand eerily reminiscent of The Terminator. The innovation marks a major step toward realistic prosthetics, moving us closer to sci-fi-style robotic limbs.

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and ...

Equipped with new 'smart wire' technology, this bionic hand mimics the system that natural muscles use to move, allowing it to be more lightweight and flexible. Tech Science ...

Using real muscle tissue does however come with some downsides, as anyone who has been to the gym may know. "While not entirely surprising, it was interesting that the contractile force of the ...

Man with no limbs controls robotic hand using muscle whispers. Alex Lewis lost his limbs to an out-of-control infection. Listening to muscle movements offers him an easier way to control prostheses.
