What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Genuine Nature-published breakthrough with real edge-inference on-fibre, but the honest single-fibre accuracy is only 67% (needs a multi-fibre garment for 95%) and category washability durability remains unsolved, keeping it pre-commercial; nothing to adopt today, worth watching as the substrate for ambient on-body sensing.
Next
Monitor for a third-party reproduction or a licensed industrial-knit pilot with multi-fibre integration and published washing-cycle endurance data before any integration scoping.
