"Smart skin" holds promise for morphing wings and wearable computers.

"Terrible, horrible things can be done to this millimeters-thick patch of shimmering material crafted by chemists at NanoSonic in Blacksburg, Virginia. Twist it, stretch it double, fry it to 200°C, douse it with jet fuel -- the stuff survives. After the torment, it snaps like rubber back to its original shape, all the while conducting electricity like solid metal."





This stuff fits witness descriptions of the Roswell crash debris so well it's spooky.
