A nanotube like this one, delicately balanced on top of gold filaments, is threaded through a rubbery polymer. This nanotube-infused polymer generates electricity in response to pressure or force, creating signals that can be routed to your brain. That's why this synthetic skin can "feel." Researchers want to build a prosthetic limb out of this stuff by 2010. Click through for more images of carbon nanotubes, the artificial nervous systems of tomorrow.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://io9.com/342273/nanotubes-make-synthetic-skin-feel-your-pain"><P><EM>Image of carbon nanotube on gold filaments from Singapore Nanotech Institute.</EM> [<A href="http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/01/synth-skin.html">Wired</A>]</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://io9.com/342273/nanotubes-make-synthetic-skin-feel-your-pain"><UL id="gallery-thumbs"> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://io9.com/photogallery/carbonnanotubes/1000440546"><IMG title="carbon nanotube on a cantilever tip" alt="carbon nanotube on a cantilever tip" longdesc="carbon nanotube on a cantilever tip" src="http://io9.com/assets/images/gallery/8/2008/01/smallish_2177866183_9db1bf6fd6_o.jpg" /></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://io9.com/photogallery/carbonnanotubes/1000440522"><IMG title="carbon nanotube towers on a silicon chip" alt="carbon nanotube towers on a silicon chip" longdesc="carbon nanotube towers on a silicon chip" src="http://io9.com/assets/images/gallery/8/2008/01/smallish_2177867349_27301fc0f0_o.jpg" /></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://io9.com/photogallery/carbonnanotubes/1000440704"><IMG title="carbon nanotubes" alt="carbon nanotubes" longdesc="carbon nanotubes" src="http://io9.com/assets/images/gallery/8/2008/01/smallish_2177868571_5e518efb0b_o.jpg" /></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://io9.com/photogallery/carbonnanotubes/1000440696"><IMG title="carbon nanotubes" alt="carbon nanotubes" longdesc="carbon nanotubes" src="http://io9.com/assets/images/gallery/8/2008/01/smallish_2177870713_c270e3cbd9_o.jpg" /></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://io9.com/photogallery/carbonnanotubes/1000440530"><IMG title="towers of carbon nanotubes on silicon" alt="towers of carbon nanotubes on silicon" longdesc="towers of carbon nanotubes on silicon" src="http://io9.com/assets/images/gallery/8/2008/01/smallish_2178660094_a0445ba176_o.jpg" /></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://io9.com/photogallery/carbonnanotubes/1000440506"><IMG title="vertical carbon nanotubes carpeting a silicon wafer" alt="vertical carbon nanotubes carpeting a silicon wafer" longdesc="vertical carbon nanotubes carpeting a silicon wafer" src="http://io9.com/assets/images/gallery/8/2008/01/smallish_2178661052_32f64b324e_o.jpg" /></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://io9.com/photogallery/carbonnanotubes/1000440562"><IMG title="carbon nanotube towers" alt="carbon nanotube towers" longdesc="carbon nanotube towers" src="http://io9.com/assets/images/gallery/8/2008/01/smallish_2177864059_fbd9ebdc7f_o.jpg" /></A></LI> </UL></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2D262F1E-C2EA-483D-AC2A-1E7B3443EEC2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
