ETH Zurich researchers create smart sensors that react to touch, pressure and movement.
They have woven glass fibers into fabric that emit sound waves through glass fibers.
When a fiber moves, the length of the acoustic waves passing through it change, as they lose energy.
This makes the measurements more precise and the textiles lighter, more breathable and easier to wash.
In the future, SonoTextiles could be used in a variety of ways: as a shirt or T-shirt, they could monitor breathing and trigger an alarm.
