#'Yarn muscles'100 times stronger than human muscles Using just coiled fishing line and sewing thread a team of scientists has developed a way to create super-strong artificial muscles.
Baughman has made artificial muscles out of carbon nanotube yarns before but those are much more expensive and complicated to make.
As with all artificial muscles the yarn muscles can't convert electrical to mechanical energy very efficiently yet.
though the current process can only create threads that perform a single type of task,
Specifically, the molecule, called Brichos, sticks to threads made up of malfunctioning proteins, called amyloid fibrils,
By doing so, it stops these threads from coming into contact with other proteins, thereby helping to avoid the formation of highly toxic clusters that enable the condition to proliferate in the brain.

it can resemble rope or thread, drizzling onto a surface in wavelike patterns. Reis wondered if the same code could be adopted to simulate the coiling of cables. e realized that I using geometry to scale up and down problems,
The researchers rigged an array of coils to an elastic cuff attaching each coil to a small thread linked to the cuff.
Between 60 and 160 C the coils contracted pulling the attached threads and tightening the cuff.
For instance an array of coils may be incorporated into the center of a suit with each coil attached to a thread that radiates to the suit s extremities.
As the coils activate they could pull on the attached threads much like the strings of a puppet to tighten
In 2012, Avila and two MIT students also fixed issues with the threads on the sheller drive shaft:
coming to a sudden halt and putting stress on the threads, causing them to fail.
the sheller stopped at a more gradual pace, reducing thread stress. All shellers could then be modified,
The new approach uses yarns, made from nanowires of the element niobium, as the electrodes in tiny supercapacitors (which are essentially pairs of electrically conducting fibers with an insulator between).
but the niobium yarns are stronger and 100 times more conductive. Overall, niobium-based supercapacitors can store up to five times as much power in a given volume as carbon nanotube versions.

That the atoms of the benzene molecules link themselves together at room temperature to make a thread is shocking to chemists and physicists.
carbon nanotube yarn. The presently most electrically conductive carbon nanotube yarn replaces usual copper wires in the windings.
In order to make CNTS easy to manipulate they are spun to form multifiber yarn. If we keep the electrical machine design parameters unchanged and only replace copper with future carbon nanotube wires it is possible to reduce the Joule losses in the windings to half of the present-day machine losses.
The prototype motor uses carbon nanotube yarns spun and converted into an isolated tape by a Japanese-Dutch company Teijin Aramid
scaling up the production capacity together with improving the yarn performance will facilitate major steps in the future believes Business Development Manager Dr. Marcin Otto from Teijin Aramid agreeing with Professor Pyrhnen.
We expect that in the future the conductivity of carbon nanotube yarns could be even three times the practical conductivity of copper in electrical machines.

FROM FLAT SHEET TO 3d BOX The team demonstrated the approach with a series of examples including a mechanism that can be switched from a flat strip into a locked configuration as one end controllably bends and threads itself through a keyhole.

Finally, the graphene oxide yarns were exposed to a chemical reduction process, which involves the gaining of electrons.

Lengthwise yarns the warp are interwoven over and under with yarns called the weft. But what was not being done was weaving in three dimensions
nor was it being done seemingly by anyone else, according to patent research. Back in London, Sosanya had learned to weave
the thread is coated in silicone which then solidifies. When the desired shape is completed, the tray at the bottom of the machine is slid out and the mesh
Where traditional weaving has the warp and the weft, Sosanya has replaced the warp with the rigid tubes
As there is one continuous piece of thread which is used through the whole structure, further strength is added.

Finally, the yarn was spooled and rinsed with water, which helped remove the ionic liquid and re-solidify the cellulose.
