Artificial muscles

Scientists make 'bionic' muscles: "Scientists have developed artificial, super-strength muscles which are powered by alcohol and hydrogen... Writing in Science, they say these artificial muscles are 100 times more powerful than the body's own. They said they could even be used in 'exoskeletons' to give superhuman strength to certain professions such as firefighters, soldiers and astronauts."

Obviously they could also be used in robots, although the article never mentions that.

This article has a nice video on these muscles.

The T-1000 is just around the corner. LOL!
