Ultra stretchable headphone wires

Researchers from North Carolina State University have created conductive wires that can be stretched up to eight times their original length while still functioning. The wires can be used for everything from headphones to phone chargers, and hold potential for use in electronic textiles.

To make the wires, researchers start with a thin tube made of an extremely elastic polymer and then fill the tube with a liquid metal alloy of gallium and indium, which is an efficient conductor of electricity.

Very cool.

"a single input field is used to capture credit card number first. If the credit card number is invalid an error is displayed that prevents the user from moving forward. If the credit card number is valid, the generic credit card icon changes to reflect the type of card entered. This removes the need for a separate credit card “type” drop down or selector and reassures someone that their entry has been understood.

Once the credit card number is validated, it slides over to the left leaving only the last four trailing digits for reference and the next set of inputs appear in the mask: expiration date, CVV (security) code, and ZIP code. Since these are all numeric inputs, a 0-9 set of soft keys is all that is needed to keep people moving along on the keyboard.

Since the expiration date on a credit card can’t be in the past or far future, the input mask one again helps keep people away from errors. Invalid months or years simply won’t be accepted. After a valid expiration date has been added, Square’s design features another excellent enhancement. The credit card icon changes to reveal where the CVV code is located on the specific card being used to pay. This small detail helps clue people in to what information is required next.

Because CVV and ZIP are also numeric entries, there’s no reason to ever leave the dial-pad throughout the payment input process: no jumping between multiple form fields required..."
