In lab tests, separate sheets of nanocellulose film that had been treated with each of the additives were applied to dye-sensitized solar cells, which were then placed under a UV lamp for 1,000 hours.

Because of the onion’s unique cell structure, the new artificial muscle is able to remain soft and bendable while it’s contracting, a trick that has eluded previous artificial muscle design.

This week a team in Taiwan unveiled gold-plated onion cells that show promise at expanding, ... The team made muscle-like "tweezers" from onion skin cells. Shih Lab, National ...

Now, however, scientists from National Taiwan University have gotten around that limitation using gold-plated onion cells. Artificial muscles could one day revolutionize fields such as robotics, ...

Scientists have used onion cells to develop a new and inexpensive class of artificial muscle that can bend and contract at the same time. In a world first, physicists in Taiwan discovered that the ...
