Carbon is a brilliant element. Structured perfectly, it can create incredibly tough material with no sacrifice to weight. Engineers have developed a carbon nano tube sensor that mimics the whiskers of catskys. "The whiskers picked up pressures less than one-tenth as high as previous designs could detect." This has many applications in surgical robots!
