Nanotube Springs Stretch Skin-Like Sensor - YouTube



Using carbon nanotubes bent to act as springs, Stanford researchers have developed a stretchable, transparent skin-like sensor.

The sensor can be stretched to more than twice its original length and bounce back perfectly to its original shape.

It can sense pressure from a firm pinch to thousands of pounds. The sensor could have applications in prosthetic limbs, robotics and touch-sensitive computer displays.
