Bio-inspired interlocking random 3-D structures for tactile and thermal sensing

Abstract Hierarchical nanostructures are tailored and used routinely in nature to accomplish tasks with high performance. Their formation in nature is accomplished without the use of any patterning process. Inspired by the performance of such structures, we have combined 2-D nanosheets with 1-D nano...
