What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Too early to adopt

Why
Compelling cost (~20c/m) and real loom compatibility, but thermal actuation latency plus finicky wet-lab synthesis make it a 2023 UIST research artifact, not an integrable component.
Next
Watch for a non-lab continuous-production process and closed-loop (sensored) actuation demos with published response-time figures before considering any prototype textile.
