Transistors and integrated circuits made from threads are combined with thread-based sensors to create fully flexible devices

Transistors connected with twisted electrodes maintain functionality even after being bent and washed over 1,000 times and can activate LED or detect electrocardiogram signals

Equipment- and training-free textile detectors could be used in public health, workplace safety, military, and rescue applications

University of Maryland researchers have created a fabric that dynamically regulates heat passing through it

Research shows that the chemical—a component of wastewater in textile-making—is good at tasks associated with energy storage

Researchers incorporate optoelectronic diodes into fibers and weave them into washable fabrics

The bandage is threaded with photonic fibers that change color to signal pressure level
