Bradbury Premise? Wire so thin and strong it cuts people in half?

I'm going nuts trying to remember who wrote a story I read long ago that was based on the technological premise that someone had invented a wire that was stronger than steel yet so thin that it was essentially invisible....

One result was that if you strung it across a path and someone was chasing you they would walk right through it and be sliced in half before they knew it...

Rather gruesome....perhaps too gruesome to be a Bradbury premise?

Does anyone know if this was in a Bradbury story, or who wrote this, Bradbury or otherwise?

thanks very much for your collective wisdom.
