Claim 0:
1. A sensor comprising:
a co-axial arrangement of layers about a central axis comprising, from an innermost layer to an outermost layer:
a first, innermost core layer, having an outer core surface;
a second, inner electrode layer, physically communicative with the outer core surface;
a third, inner dielectric material layer, physically communicative with the inner electrode layer;
a fourth, outer electrode layer, physically communicative with the inner dielectric material layer and electrically communicative with the inner electrode layer; and
a fifth, outermost dielectric material layer, physically communicative with the outer electrode layer;

wherein the sensor is reversibly deformable in response to a longitudinal force along the central axis.
