Taut-Tech: Smaller, Softer Artificial Muscles to Help Bring Power to Toys and Cell Phones: Scientists at the University of Auckland's Bioengineering Institute in New Zealand are developing an advanced artificial muscle that essentially does the same thing without the need for external conductors. The researchers start by applying grease infused with carbon particles—known as carbon grease—onto a polymer. "By carefully laying down soft electrodes on the membrane's surface, we can control the charge in a clever way, and create something that is smaller, lighter and more portable than previously possible..."
