"The technology to build giant robots is one bit step closer: a group of international researchers have published a paper describing a method to create artificial muscle fibres. The cool thing is that they are about 100 times stronger than biological muscle tissue, and you can try it at home! The basis is polyethylene or nylon string, AKA fishing line. A great video is available on Hack A Day."
