The prototype incorporates millimeter-thick electronic fibers capable of displaying videos, responding to finger presses, and tracking health data including body temperature. Demonstrations show the smart textile can survive 50 gentle machine washes and 1,000 bending cycles. However, the system still depends on external controllers and batteries to operate.Why it mattersThis development represents a major step in smart te
