TO GO WITH 'Science-Japan-technology' Ja

TO GO WITH 'Science-Japan-technology' Japan's Tokyo University researcher Tsuyoshi Sekitani displays an elastic sheet containing carbon nano tubes which conduct electricity (black part) and a robot hand at his laboratory in the university in Tokyo on August 11, 2008. Japanese researchers say they have developed a rubber that is able to conduct electricity well, paving the way for robots with stretchable "e-skin" that can feel heat and pressure like humans. The material is the first in the world to solve the problems faced by metals -- which are conductive but do not stretch -- and rubber, which hardly transmits electricity, according to the team at the University of Tokyo.
