Super-strong magnetic muscles lift 1,000 times their weight with ease


Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST) team in South Korea has developed an innovative magnetic composite artificial muscle.

Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST) team in South Korea has developed an innovative magnetic composite artificial muscle. “Utilizing multi-stimulation methods, including laser heating and magnetic field control, we can remotely execute fundamental movements such as elongation, contraction, bending, and torsion, along with more complex actions like manipulating objects with precision,” Professor Jeong explained. “This research opens avenues for transformative applications across diverse sectors, driven by mechanical properties and performance that transcend the limitations of existing artificial muscles,” Jeong concluded.
