NUS researchers weave the first touchscreen display into clothing

Researchers at the National University of Singapore, led by Assistant Professor Tural Khudiyev, integrated 54 specialized fibers into a sleeve to create a 96×54-pixel display that also senses touch. The work was published in Nature on 21 October 2026, and the fabric display survived 50 machine washes and 1,000 bending cycles.
