    Abstract

    Fiber is one of the most fundamental material forms seen in human life. Befitting from their long and bendable shape, fibers with different specialties and different dimensions are used in a multitude of applications, ranging from fabrics [1] to telecommunications [2], from generating laser [3] to sensing and actuating, etc. [4–6]. In recent years, major breakthroughs were made, demonstrating that fibers have novel optical [7–9], electronic [10], acoustic [11, 12] and cell interfacing [13, 14] properties that enable new functionalities. Functional fibers and related application research are at the crossroads of many disciplines, including optics, materials science, device physics, nanotechnology, and fluid dynamics.
