Scientists at Hanyang University have developed a very fine synthetic fiber to be used as artificial muscle.

The team of scientists led by Professor Kim Seon-jeong collaborated with U.S. and Australian researchers to use the next-generation carbon nanotube material in the production of artificial muscle that allows rotation.

The team said one millimeter of the polymer can rotate 250 degrees, which enables it to be used in the motors of micro robots.

The results of this research were published in the Friday edition of the world-renowned academic journal Science.
