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.</p><p style="margin:0;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12.5px;margin-left:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;padding:0px;"></p><span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJHZylgWeJw">www.youtube.com/watch</a></span><p style="margin:0;"></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;margin-top:12.5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12.5px;margin-left:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;padding:0px;"><strong>More information on <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://goo.gl/9xvj8" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Techcrunch</a></strong></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: humanoids, touch_sensitive, robotics, robot, nanotubes, stanford, sensor</div>
