For years, therefore, engineers have been on the lookout for a cheap, bendable, sensitive photodetector.
What is more, 3M has come up with a coating for the fibres that makes them bendable.
Although the making of forms is a slow and costly process, the technique competes economically with steel frame construction because the mesh, composed of thin, bendable metal rods or metal fabric, employs far less steel, and concrete is itself inexpensive.
It is also an excellent conductor of electricity, so is useful for anything involving electronics, such as bendable mobile phones and cameras, and wearable electrical devices attached to clothing.
In the first film, the rules of reality were bendable, and that was what gave the action its surprises; in the new one there are hardly any rules at all.
How far could Disney have gone with these bendable bodies?

He didn't want her gold to be thin and bendable.
The patents suggest a wide array of applications: ultra-long-life batteries, bendable computer screens, desalinization of water, improved solar cells, superfast microcomputers.
In one part of the complex, technicians were assembling components, making use of on-site industrial machinery: pieces of Kevlar were being fed into a German fabric machine in order to produce highly bendable, but virtually unbreakable, material for woofers.
