Engineers at the NC State University have created electrical wires that stretch 8x their original length without breaking and still being able to let the current flow through them. The wires were created using a liquid metal alloy comprising of gallium and indium wrapped inside a tube manufactured using extremely elastic polymer.

These stretchable electrical wires will probably find use in headphone wires and engineers say you might just want to get ready for 'electrical textile'. Read more about this development on source link. Also check out our recent update on #-Link-Snipped-#.
