It was great to chat again with @MarwaEldiwiny on her pioneering and always interesting #softrobots podcast.
It was more since two years when I had the first conversation with @GeoffreySpinks on the podcast. It was a pleasure to have this conversation again on artificial muscles inspired by DNA supercoiling. I hope you enjoy listening! #softrobots The episode: https://t.co/WYYsexqY8n

No, it’s not a gummy bear come-to-life. This creepy-crawly creature is actually a human #fibroblast cell. A recent #NIDCR study found fibroblasts migrate using a ‘front wheel drive’ mode. Learn how the results could shed light on thwarting #cancer spread: https://t.co/Zxae8Ejafj

Here's a summary of our new work "DNA-inspired 'supercoiling' fibres could make powerful artificial muscles for robots" https://t.co/ISdgdbSEfu via @ConversationEDU
theconversation.com
Fibres that imitate the double helix of DNA can make artificial muscles more powerful than those found in nature.
