Quite excited about this out of MIT: a computer that fits into a single piece of thread weighing 5g!

Could be woven into clothing with all kinds of applications for bodily computing

Features analog sensing, digital memory, processing and communication

Wow. I hope this takes off. I still remember the Levis jacket that had some computing power: Levi’s Commuter Trucker Jacket with Jacquard by Google

Did you try one of those?

my research group worked on stuff like that way back before i joined

jacquard was cool but this is a different level. I'm not really a textiles person but this new material has me excited

Need to read the paper in full, but looks like it can do whole body physiological monitoring - they’re mostly interested in health inevitably but I think it could be fun for dance and interactive networked displays with performers 

I’m also interested in how this could be adapted for digital memory, sensing and recording, responding etc

It even has Bluetooth this is crazy

Nice work! You’re getting better every day.
