That in itself is still pretty damn cool, but to call it self-healing is a misstatement. ]]>Mar 23rd 2008 4:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/Mar 23rd 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/Mar 22nd 2008 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/Mar 23rd 2008 12:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/Mar 22nd 2008 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/Mar 23rd 2008 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/

Assuming this is anything like REAL muscle, this would be perfect for lifting weights. See, you may not know this, but when you lift weights, you tear your muscle. Then, after the workout, it starts rebuilding the muscle, adding more of it to make it stronger. This muscle obviously doesn't need protein, which is an immediate advantage over "the real thing" (theoretically speaking, of course). So, if this muscle acts like its biological counterpart, then all sorts of good things can happen. Plus, it generates electricity, which could be use for God-knows-what.]]>Mar 23rd 2008 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/Mar 22nd 2008 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/Mar 23rd 2008 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/
Seriously, this is amazing! It will be a new and easy solution for prosthetic limbs and needs almost no upkeep!

This is stuff of science fiction! If they can make this practical, we will be living in a better world.]]>Mar 22nd 2008 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/Mar 22nd 2008 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/22/ucla-researchers-create-self-healing-power-generating-artificia/

I read about some guy who had the razors and he got disqualified from his long distance or sprint run... I forget which but it was pretty sad since he had trained for the event, without. legs.
