MIT researchers developed a fiber computer and networked several of them into a garment that learns to identify physical activities.

Inspired by the human ear, a new acoustic fabric converts audible sounds into electrical signals.

In a first, the digital fiber contains memory, temperature sensors, and a trained neural network program for inferring physical activity.

Filaments with embedded circuitry can be used to print complex shapes for biomedical and robotic devices.

New center for development of high-tech fibers and fabrics opens headquarters, unveils two products ready for commercialization.
