Preface

Fiber materials, including natural fibers discovered thousands of years ago and manmade fibers invented over a century ago, are indispensable for the basic life of humankind, as, for instance, they are woven into textiles to make us warm since ancient times. The resulting textiles also gradually become a key part of fashions, particularly in past centuries. Recently, fiber materials experience a revolutionary evolution to a new epoch with an electronic function based on the rapid advance of information technology and artificial intelligence. They may harvest energy, store energy, light, compute, communicate, and detect the environmental change both in vitro and in vivo, and many new electronic functions are further emerging for the fibers. A new direction or even a discipline, fiber electronics we previously named, has been thus generated from the above research. Fiber electronics that has been widely explored for a variety of applications ranging from power systems, information technology, artificial intelligence to public health has been attracting increasing interests since the past decade. More and more scientists and
