Stretchy floppy optical fibre could sense strain inside living tissue

  Researchers from MIT and Harvard Medical School have developed a bio-compatible stretchable optical fibre, which might one day deliver therapeutic light within the body or sense disease said the team. A particular use of the fibre, which is made of bio-polymer hydrogel, could be within jelly-like brain tissue. To keep light in the fibre, the core ...
