Researchers innovate scalable robotic fibers with light-emitting, self-healing and magnetic properties.

Novel multifunctional SHINE fibres enhance human-robot interactions in applications ranging from smart textiles to robotics.

The Scalable Hydrogel-clad Ionotronic Nickel-core Electroluminescent ( SHINE ) fiber is bendable, emits highly visible light, and can automatically repair itself after being cut, regaining nearly 100 per cent of its original brightness.

SHINE fibres are capable of emitting light, self-healing, navigating confined spaces and signalling even after being severed.

The fibre can be used in interactive displays, where its magnetism allows for dynamic pattern changes that facilitate optical interaction and signalling in the dark.

The team plans to refine the precision of the fibre's magnetic actuation to support more dexterous robotic applications.
