It's now possible to embroider small-scale circuitry with precision enough to install sensors and memory devices.
Called "e-textiles", the dual-use circuitry and embroidery is partly produced using a traditional tabletop sewing machine. But instead of regular thread, the researchers use silver wire so fine that once it's been embroidered, it feels just like regular fabric.
