Podcast: How Candy-Making Inspired the Future of Smart Textiles

In this episode, we explore how researchers used a fiber-optic style thermal drawing process (similar to stretching candy) to create liquid-metal smart fibers that sense motion with high precision, unlocking new possibilities for wearables, soft prosthetics, and touch-sensitive humanoid robots.
