Oct 8, 2026, 6:30 PM🐟 NEW: #MIT engineers built a #robot swimmer the size of a stick of gum, powered by a single sheet of living #mouse muscle less than 15 µm thick.
#Light at 470 µm makes the #cells contract, bending gel fins to steer it through a maze at four body lengths per minute. Grooved channels align the cells, and daily light workouts quadruple their stroke.
