2 3 5 4 1. Chemical Engineering Professor Max Stein and Brian Iezzi, post-doctoral researcher, analyze the fabric with photonic fibers woven into it at the Materials Science and Engineering Department, at the University of Michigan's North Campus Research Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. 2. At Lincoln Laboratory's Defense Fabric Discovery Center, Erin Doran demonstrates how reflective fibers can be woven into textiles. Such fibers could function as indelible, scannable labels to easily sort fabrics for recycling. 3. Close-up of the photonic fibers in the fabric 4. In the future, a phone will be able to read the photonic fiber " label " in clothes. 5. Scanning and measuring the photonic fibers in the fabric.
