We can’t remember the number of times we have tried to attach a gadget to a socket or a computer and that darned thing was just out of range. Kids, this never works out well. Japan’s Asahi Kasei corporation has decided to make things that much more easier, and the world that much more better with power and data cables that are elastic and can be stretched to 1.5 times their original size. How cool is that?
They managed to make these stretchable cables by managing to embed conductive fibers into elastic cords. They developed these cables for robots, hoping that it would provide the machines with more flexibility. We don’t really see a reason why these cables couldn’t find use in other commercial and consumer devices as well.
