This E-Textile Could Replace Your iPhone

A group of academics has found a way to incorporate electronic devices into fabric's actual fibers.

A honeycomb lattice made of carbon, graphene is not the flashiest of materials. But this flexible, extremely strong, and virtually transparent substance has a hidden power: At one atom thick, it is the thinnest material known that is capable of conducting electricity. A consortium of European academics have leveraged this property, discovering a way to coat fabric fibers with graphene to create, in their words, "the world's first truly electronic textile."
