Carbon nanomaterial thin films exhibit sensitivity to a large variety of external stimuli. By measuring the electrical properties of devices fabricated with carbon thin films, transducers can be made that measure temperature, humidity, strain and many other environmental stimuli. These analog transducers exhibit extremely fast response times to provide high-speed measurements that previously were not available.
