Scientists develop versatile, self-healing fibre that can emit light and respond to magnets.

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have created a multifunctional fibre called SHINE, which can emit light, self-heal when cut, and respond to magnetic forces. The flexible fibres can be used in soft robotics, interactive displays, and smart textiles. They offer a more durable and versatile alternative to existing light-emitting fibres and can be powered wirelessly.
