"In any area where you need electronics that can stretch and bend without compromising performance, for example in wearable electronics to monitor movement, this is going to be quite a breakthrough," says Gordon Wallace of the University of Wollongong, Australia.
Someya believes that the nanotube-based conductor is likely to be more physically robust, a requirement for applications like an e-skin in which speed is not critical.
He also says that the material is cheaper to make because the rubber and nanotube solution can be printed out in sheets.
A research article has been published in the journal Science.
