The human body is an amazingly complex bit of kit. Replicating it with bionic technology<\/a> presents challenges on many fronts, including the formidable task of mimicking our sense of touch<\/a>. This goal could now be a little closer thanks to a breakthrough in carbon nanotube processing by scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Borrowing from conventional methods of making glass fiber, the researchers managed to cram 19,600 individual carbon nanotube-containing channels into fibers just four times thicker than a human hair, putting the artificial structure on a scale similar to the tiny neural bundles that make up our nerve pathways… Tags:<\/b> Bionic<\/a>, Related Articles:<\/b><\/p>\n The human body is an amazingly complex bit of kit.
