A multifunctional biomimetic nanocomposite tactile sensor that can detect shear and vertical forces, feel texture, and measure flow with extremely low power consumption is developed by J. Kosel and A. Alfadhel on page 7888. The image shows a 3D rendering of the artificial cilia tactile sensor, and a transmission electron microscopy image of the cilia's cross section, demonstrating the distribution of the magnetic nanowires in the nanocomposite.
