The goal of Quantum Tantra is to contact Nature directly in new more intimate ways informed by the discoveries of quantum physics. Recently (Thanks JOG website) a company called Peratech, located in North Yorkshire, England, seems to have taken a small step towards that goal. They've developed a pressure sensor for robots and other applications whose operation depends upon the quantum tunnelling of electrons between starburst-shaped metal particles embedded in a silicone rubber matrix. Peratech calls their new semiquantum material a Quantum Tunnelling Composite (QTC).
