Look-alike muscle to charge your iPhone
Researchers at University of California, Los Angeles have invented a unique artificial muscle that has the powers to heal itself apart from homing power good enough to charge your iPhone or your iPod. And if the researchers are to be believed, this electricity-generating muscle will one day create walking robots or advanced prosthetics.
The life like muscle is made of carbon nanotubes as electrodes and can expand more than 200 percent when applied with electricity, without undergoing any kind of failure.
The muscle is an energy-efficient device that conserves 70 percent of the energy put into it. The electric current thus generated can be used to power devices like your iPhone or your ipod.
