In this paper, we present the design and development of HarmonicThreads, a smart, cost-effective fabric augmented by generative machine learning algorithms to create music in real time according to the user's interaction. In this manner, we hypothesize that individuals with sensory differences could take advantage of the fabric's flexibility, the music will adapt according to users' interaction, and the affordable hardware we propose will make it more accessible. We follow a design thinking methodology using data from a multidisciplinary team in Mexico and the United States. Then we will close this paper by discussing challenges in developing accessible smart fabrics …

We designed and experimentally demonstrated a four-terminal superconducting device, a “quadristor,” that can function as a nonlatching (reversible) superconducting switch from the diode regime to the resistive state by application of a control current much smaller than the main transport current. The device uses a vortex-based superconducting-diode mechanism that is switched back and forth via the injection of flux quanta through auxiliary current leads. Our finding opens a new research area in the field of superconducting electronics.
