TEXAS, KOMPAS.com – small but mighty. United States researchers managed to develop artificial muscle 200 times stronger than original muscle of equal size.

Ray Raughman, a researcher from the University of Texas at Dallas, who led the study, said that the muscle is essentially tube developed karnon nano. The nano tube filled with other materials for forming artificial muscle fibers.

The first step, researchers nano tube arrangement with the same process as the seeorang middle of stringing thread wool. The nano tube which is empty and then filled with materials a variety of material including paraffin.

To make artificial muscle is contracting, heating it to researchers. When paraffin is heated, expand, pushing the wall tube of nano and make it shorter and thicker. When paraffin is cooled down again, shrinking and shrinking the tubes as well as extending it again.

Baughman suggested, could make muscle contracting and relaxation within 25 milliseconds or 25 per thousand seconds. With that ability, artificial muscle can do an awful lot of work in accordance with its development.

Richard Vaia, researcher of materials from the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio was fascinated with this artificial muscle. "The new Thing is how they use the properties of the two materials, processing are appropriately combined," he said.

Baugman as cited TechNewsDaily, Thursday (15/11/2012), revealed that the prospect of the use of artificial muscle was huge. Its use on small medical tool is perfect. In addition, this artificial muscles to the front of the robot can also be used. With muscle, movement of robots could be more natural.

Currently, the lab has been able to develop muscle Baughman along 1 km. Development will be done so that the muscle can produce longer and not just sensitive to heat, but also chemical substances. The results of this research published in the journal Science, Thursday yesterday.
