Biofabricating 3D cardiac tissues that mimic the native myocardial tissue is a pivotal challenge in tissue engineering. In this study, we fabricate 3D cardiac tissues with controlled, multidirectional cellular alignment and directed or twisting contractility. We show that multidirectional filamented light can be used to biofabricate high-density (up to 60 × 10 cells mL) tissues, with directed uniaxial contractility (3.

- * Electrohydraulic actuators show potential to rival mammal muscle performance but operate at high voltages, resulting in bulky and inefficient systems.
- * The new HALVE actuators deliver high power density and strain rates at significantly lower voltages (1100 volts), are safe and waterproof, and have been successfully tested in robotic applications.
