[HIGHLIGHTS] The Shanghai scientific research team developed "unplugged" light-emitting power generation fibers and achieved an important breakthrough in the field of smart fibers.

Donghua University has developed a new type of smart fiber that integrates wireless energy collection, information sensing and transmission functions. The manufactured smart textiles can achieve human-computer interaction functions such as light-emitting display and touch control without relying on chips and batteries.

This breakthrough achievement opens up new possibilities for intelligent interaction between humans and the environment and has broad application prospects. Relevant research results were published in Science magazine on the 5th. The research team will conduct the next phase of research on how to make this new fiber more effective in collecting energy from space.
