In a recent study published in Nano-Micro Letters , researchers led by Qianyi Cheng, Prof. Jianfeng Li (Lanzhou Jiaotong University), and Prof. Qichong Zhang (Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics, CAS) have introduced a groundbreaking “single-fibre computer” that integrates sensing, communication, computation, and storage into a single stretchable, machine-washable fibre. By networking multiple such fibres into a distributed computational textile, they achieved human activity recognition accuracy of 95% —a dramatic leap from the 67% achieved by single-fibre systems.
