Scientists at Bristol university are developing new materials to mimic animals with artificial muscles, such as the squid. This muscles will be applied on soft robots and soft devices.
All this muscles are based on animals that are able to change their colours.
To mimic these natural mechanisms, the team used "smart" electro-active polymeric materials, connected to an electric circuit.
In my opinion, these new muscles and materials will help the mankind to evolve. Nowadays most inventions are focused on the evolution of the life quality of humans. That will make us live longer, and that's a problem. There is more than seven thousand milion people on the Earth and this planet cannot hold much more people. We need those new inventions but we better need more reasearch on seek new forms to get resources because, here on the Earth they are going to be exhausted.
