The fiber chips survived extreme stress tests, including repeated bending, high heat, machine washing, and heavy compression.

Chinese scientists have developed fully flexible fiber chips that embed complete electronic circuits inside strands as thin as human hair. The advance brings electronic textiles closer to functioning like computers and displays, while remaining soft, stretchable, and machine washable.

“This fully flexible fiber system paves the way for the interactive patterns desired in cutting-edge applications such as brain-computer interfaces, smart textiles and virtual-reality wearables,” the team wrote.
