Creating artificial muscles

How soon, before Olympic athletes,
and Professional wrestlers enhamce their abilities ?
Perhaps, a humanoid shoveling more dirt, than a bulldozer can push ?

Does this research receive federal funding?

That all depends. It's really a matter of asking how long before the technology is viable for use under standard temperature and pressure. Not to mention the cost effectiveness of it. I'm not sure professional wrestling pays well enough to have your muscles replaced by artificial materials.

I gotta get me some of these!

What would be great, is to see this type of nano-technology put to use in repairing damaged muscles in humans. Say for instance a replacement heart that will outlast the rest of the human body.

You can bet that before mankind gets the real benefit, mankind will be destroying mankind with it. Sorry, I know that's cynical, but don't you think military applications such as nano suits would take a higher priority?

If that kind of technology filters into Joe Average's hands, doesn't that make Joe a dangerous guy? Personally, if I had even arms and legs that gave me 30 times human strength and 1000 times reflexes I'd be pretty darn powerful. In my opinion, that means they have to spread the technology around to everyone so we're all on the same level again. Time will tell. Nanotechnolgy has the potential to change us for the better or destroy us in the process.

Please guys, if you wanna experiment artificial muscles, then get your lazy off that bed and experiment in yours. You got your deltoids, triceps or even biceps, be a man!! Work out on those muscles, believe it or not, we hear around the country that because of my boy, people are trying to exercise more, especially the ladies.

Work out dude, don't let a scientist help you achieve it, be a man and do it yourself. I'll give you pointers if you want and trust me, it ain't as hard as you think...

The potential of this technology is in no way comparable to a session at your local gym. While going to the gym will, in fact, increase your physical strength, metabolism, and overall longevity of life, no amount of exercise can amount to the capabilities of this type of technology. These artificial muscles can be used to explore areas of extreme pressure and heat, something that our organic muscles could never withstand.

So instead of focusing on the stereotypes associated with scientists (ie. that they're lazy and unfit) take some time to think about how this technology could be used to further mankind (rather than your own physic).

I don't think they are to the point yet, where they could be used as internal muscles.

Franky, the human body can only do so much, regardless of how big and strong the body is.

This technology is too new to determine applications for it yet. But the possibilities are endless. Think of a kid with muscular dystrophy, that lacks the ability to use certain muscles, they use this technology in an external application and poof ya got yourself a kid that's probably going to be stronger than most body builders.

YESH! One more step to awesome killer cyborgs!

I want rockets to come out of my eyeballs!

awsume stuff guys....with nanotech i hope to sumday be able to use the phone through my hand sothat i dont have to carry my cellphone with me all the time......... 😀

awsume stuff guys...
i hope that some day ill be able to pick up my phne through my hand and not have to carry my cell phone with me everywhere i go......... 😀
