Soft Interfaces: Revolutionary Textile-Integrated Light Switches

The Fraunhofer IZM and WINT Design Lab have collaborated to create a lamp that utilizes printable Liquid Metal Ink, enabling textile-integrated light switches.

At the Berlin Science Week on November 1st and 2nd, visitors can learn more about the project and experience it firsthand.

The Project Team

The project aims to develop textiles that can respond to touch and interact intelligently with their environment.

The key to this innovation lies in the newly developed, fully printable Liquid Metal Ink (LMI) made with Galinstan.
