Nano-machines built to mimic human muscle could help power cyborgs, keep the OSI budget down

Nano-machines built to mimic human muscle could help power cyborgs, keep the OSI budget down

At today's prices, building a Six Million Dollar Man would cost around $31 million. Of course, being a TV show means the Office of Scientific Intelligence doesn't have too many bionic employees, but that might not the case in the future. Nicolas Giuseppone and a team at the Université de Strasbourg and CNRS have created thousands of nano-machines to replicate the movement of human muscle fibers. Weaving them all together, the machines are able to make a coordinated contraction movement that stretches and contracts.
