Researchers show digital circuits can be replicated with knitted fabric
mtizard · x · 2026-07-27
A post about replicating digital circuits with knitted circuits, backed by a paper figure showing logic-gate schematics and a knitted physical implementation.
- The key idea is that modern compute uses electricity, but circuits can also be represented in fabric.
- The image shows a knitting-based circuit layout and a worked example of a digital circuit rendered in yarn.
- It is mainly a clever demo of unconventional hardware, not a product announcement.
