Scientists at MIT have incorporated electronics into soft fabrics, potentially making it possible to produce clothing that communicates optically with other devices.&nbsp;<br />”<br />”Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, embedded high-speed optoelectronic semiconductor devices, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), within fibres that were then woven into soft, washable fabrics and made into communication systems.<br />”<br />”The researchers said that this marks the creation of &quot;smart&quot; fabrics by incorporating semiconductor devices.<br />”<br />”A professor at MIT said that the first commercial products incorporating this technology will be reaching the marketplace as early as next year.<br />
