To create strong, stretchable, and electrically conductive soft fibers, researchers drew inspiration from the spider silk spinning process. Their innovative approach overcomes the difficulties of conventional approaches, which call for intricate systems and conditions. A strain-sensing glove for gaming or a smart mask for tracking breathing status for conditions like obstructive sleep aspnea are just two of the many potential uses for these soft and recyclable fibers.
