According to The Associated Press, scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have invented a new type of textile that can listen and speak. cloth (fiber).

Iel Finkle, a professor of materials at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who led the research team, said that the team has made a new milestone in functional fibers, that is, the fiber can detect and produce noise. At present, Professor Fei Ke's research team's invention has been published in the American Journal of natural materials. They transform the passive nature of textiles into "able to sing and jump" textiles.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology says that the application of materials involves fibers that are sensitive to micro sound, so as to capture people's speech and trace human limb function. filament It can even measure the blood flow of the human body.

Reported that the project has gone through 10 years of research process, the purpose is to develop more complex fiber properties, so that fibre Better interact with the surrounding environment.
