A flexible fibre that can be a little smarter than you would like. Scientists have packed computing power into a flexible fibre the width of a cotton thread that can be washed and dried without damage. Described in Nano-Micro Letters, the advance means that clothes will now have a way to keep a check on a wearer's body temperature, retaining the body's warmth in cold conditions and serving as a personal cooling system in hot weather. The fibres contain capabilities for sensing, communication, storage, and computation. The team will need to scale up the technology to create a fabric-based computer network, and imagine wearables that monitor your health, or displays you can play around with, but it's a cool step forward. Stretchable Fiber Computers Achieve 95% Accuracy in Motion Tracking Tests According to the study, each elastic fibre is stretchable by up to 60% and embeds eight devices, including four sensors, a photodetector, temperature sensor, accelerometer, and photople...
