I clicked expecting this to be one of those terribly misleading science headlines, but this actually sounds really cool.

I wonder how much this can be tuned to create a variety of "materials", or if it's limited to a simple novelty sensation like making your fingertips vibrate a bit when you touch it.

Yeah, this reminded me of Blackberry putting buttons behind their touchscreens to make them click, or the cheap touchscreen feature phones that vibrate whenever you tap something. Still very cool in this application though.
