SCIENCE - Color-Changing Photonic Fibers Created, Inspired By The Bastard Hogberry

A new type of flexible color-changing photonic fiber has been created by reserchers at Harvard University and the University of Exeter. When it's stretched, the fiber changes color, with the color varying from a deep red to a bright blue. The researchers think that the new fiber could be used for the creation of 'smart' fabrics that visibly change color when exposed to heat or pressure. Such fabrics could have a wide variety of potential uses. ...
