    Abstract

    Fibres are being rapidly developed into intelligent devices and systems. Through the integration of microelectronic chips and controllers within individual fibres, these systems can now perform advanced functionalities including sensing, data storage, computational processing, and wireless communication—all integrated into a single fibre. Recently, Fink et al. demonstrated a textile-integrated fibre computer that achieves these multifunctional capabilities while weighing less than 5 g. This breakthrough work provides novel design paradigms for the integration of fibres and electronics, transcending the conventional functional limitations of individual fibres and establishing new research directions in computational textiles.
