The 3D model showed that the leverage of Lucy’s knee extensor muscles meant that she could stand erect like modern humans. “I was very surprised to find that the knee extensors (those muscles ...

A 3D polygonal model, guided by imaging scan data and muscle scarring, reconstructing the lower limb muscles of the Australopithecus afarensis fossil AL 288-1, known as ‘Lucy’.

The resulting model included 36 muscles in each leg. Per Wiseman, Lucy had much larger calves and thighs than modern humans; the major muscles were more than twice the size.

Researchers have developed a robotic leg with artificial muscles. Inspired by living creatures, it jumps across different terrains in an agile and energy-efficient manner.

Researchers created a highly detailed 3D model of a 365-million-year-old ammonite fossil from the Jurassic period by combining advanced imaging techniques, revealing internal muscles that have ...

Dr Ashleigh Wiseman has 3D-modelled the leg and pelvis muscles of the hominin Australopithecus afarensis using scans of 'Lucy': the famous fossil specimen discovered in Ethiopia in the mid-1970s. ...

The model also reveals the proportions of fat and muscle in Lucy's legs, showing they were far more muscular than a modern human's and similar in composition to a bonobo's (Pan paniscus).

Murdered Model's Leg Found Inside Fridge, 3 Charged In Hong Kong Police found portions of Choi's body on Friday but have yet to locate her head, torso and hands.

A one-legged young stork is learning to walk on its new 3D-printed prosthesis after the bird injured itself while taking its first flight off a chimney.

British model ‘shaking with anger’ after Spanish body positivity campaign edits out her prosthetic leg The advert was part of a body positivity campaign launched by Spain’s Ministry of Equality ...

Specialists at the Veterinary Hospital of the Universidad del Valle de Mexico (UVM), in Mexico City, have placed the country's first articulated prosthetic leg, printed using 3D technology in ...
