Interesting concept. Squishing a material so that it connects up a circuit. It’s like a switch but the total number of circuits all squished together and connected up in completely unique ways can output a signal with a completely unique output “the skin is being touched in Y location and it is being squished with X amount of pressure”.

This is very primitive in its current implementation but imagine if you could produce this concept at a 3-14nm scale. We could feasibly end up in a position where we’re able to create materials that have more receptors than our skin currently does.
