which is rubbery and stores elastic energy. It's like a microscopic trampoline waiting for something to bounce on it.
The elastic energy stored in these cooler regions is released at the end of the lengthening or shortening phases of the muscle.
Daniel says that the presence of elastic energy was not a surprise. It was not a question of
whether or not there was elastic energy involved in flight Daniel said. The energy cost of rapidly accelerating
However this study uncovers a new mechanism for this elastic energy storage one based on temperature differences.
At a molecular level a moth's muscle is not very different than a human's meaning that elastic energy may serve a much larger role in human muscle function than researchers previously thought.
In the study by Yakobson research scientist Evgeni Penev and postdoctoral researcher Vasilli Artyukhov that was published recently by the American Chemical Society journal ACS Nano the Rice researchers found that the elastic energy landscapes
