Real life goes sci-fi
If any of you ever read or played anything related to cyberpunk sci-fi (Cyberpunk 2020, GURPS Cyberpunk or Shadowrun), "artificial muscle", "muscle enhancement" and similar terms and the ideas behind them won't be new to you.
What used to be part of the cyberpunk/sci-fi world of games, books and movies is now becoming reality though. As reported The Observer, "scientists have developed artificial, super-strength muscles powered by alcohol and hydrogen, which could eventually be used to make much better prosthetic limbs. The artificial muscles are 100 times more powerful than the body's own (...)".
Welcome to the 21st century. Where can I get my set of cybereyes, 12x zoom, low-light and IR vision modes included?

Ta-taa.
