Antennas that are capable of transmitting radio waves turn components into intelligent objects. Researchers have now found a way to embed these antennas in fiber composites. As a result, the technology also works with carbon and glass fibers.

It is barely visible to the naked eye: the work pieces in the production hall look normal. But the first impression is deceiving.
