Steaks and Strains: Biomechanics in Cultivated Meat

Scientists are starting to grow meat the way farmers grow fruits. For thousands of years, people have raised animals for protein, but animal farming uses huge amounts of land and water and raises ethical questions about slaughter. To address these problems, researchers came up with a new idea: cultivated meat, which means growing muscle or fat cells from an animal until they form mature tissue.
