Success in making artificial muscles that are faster and more powerful and that provide
larger strokes would expand their applications. Electrochemical carbon nanotube yarn …

Although guest-filled carbon nanotube yarns provide record performance as torsional and
tensile artificial muscles, they are expensive, and only part of the muscle effectively …

Rotary motors of conventional design can be rather complex and are therefore difficult to
miniaturize; previous carbon nanotube artificial muscles provide contraction and bending …

While artificial muscle yarns and fibers are potentially important for many applications, the
combination of large strokes, high gravimetric work capacities, short cycle times, and high …

Artificial muscles are reported in which reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is trapped in the
helical corridors of a carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn. When electrochemically driven in …

We report electrochemically powered, all-solid-state torsional and tensile artificial yarn
muscles using a spinnable carbon nanotube (CNT) sheet that provides attractive …

Fiber-type artificial muscles similar to natural muscles are being studied for applications
such as robots, prosthetics and exoskeletons. In particular, carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn …

Artificial yarn muscles, behaving like real muscles but providing higher energy output, have
attracted considerable interest recently. However, yarn muscles driven by low-voltage …

Artificial muscles are of practical interest, but few types have been commercially exploited.
Typical problems include slow response, low strain and force generation, short cycle life …

To address the lack of a suitable electrolyte that supports the stable operation of the
electrochemical yarn muscles in air, an ionic‐liquid‐in‐nanofibers sheathed carbon …
