- Smarter, more functional clothing incorporating electronics
may be possible in the near future. - Creating transistors from
cotton fibers brings a new perspective to the seamless
integration of electronics and textiles, enabling the creation
of wearable electronic devices. - The innovation represents a
significant step forward because it lays the groundwork for
creating even more complex devices, such as cotton-based
circuits. Smarter, more functional clothing incorporating
electronics may be possible in the near future, according to a
study co-authored by Cornell fiber scientist Juan Hinestroza.
Hinestroza, associate professor of fiber science, was part of an
international team that developed transistors using natural
cotton fibers. "Creating transistors from cotton fibers brings a
new perspective to the seamless integration of electronics and
textiles, enabling the creation of wearable electronic devices,"
Hinestroza said. The innovation represents a significant step
