I get the application being a touch sensor, but the real breakthrough is the embedding of magnetic particles with parallel orientations in a flexible medium. A few immediate questions:

-The company that makes Magnequench presumably knows their particles can be embedded in other materials. What's the most common use case for these types of particles? Are they typically embedded in fixed (non-flexible) solid medium or liquids?

-Is it necessary to use Dragon Skin? The idea of mixing magnetic particles in a semi-solid medium is intriguing to me. Like putting particles into Jello or Silly Putty. Could I then apply an external magnetic field and have the particles deform/shape the medium they are in?
