A team of Sandia researchers have created scaffolds of carbon nanotubes that could lead to prosthetic limbs being about to essentially feel. The limbs would be controlled by existing nerves by relaying real time sensations to the limbs. The nanotubes would remain in the tissues after the scaffold had disintegrated. This would essentially create a connection between the device and the nerves of the person.
It sounds really interesting. I'm just wondering if it would actually work.
