Artificial Muscle Fibres

Scientific animation produced by Magipics for the Intelligent Polymer Research Institute at Wollongong University.
The animation describes in a stylized manner how a nanofibre becomes super-coiled when twisted. This produces a fibre of exceptional strength which, under electric stimulation, can contract and lift heavy weights. This has a great potential for use in prosthetics/artificial limbs, robotics and "exoskeleton" devices.
