Researches at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab just unveiled their carbon nanotube mesh that is extremely flexible, light, cheap (in mass production). The carbon nanotubes are some of the most flexible ever designed by researchers.The hexagonal patterns allow for mesh-like wrapping of the conductors around a baseball as seen in the photo above. Berkeley sites a plethora of potential uses stating it could be used for, " electronic pads that could be folded away like paper, coatings that could monitor surfaces for cracks and other structural failures, medical bandages that could treat infections and food packaging that could detect spoilage".
