Clothing made from a reversible fabric could warm or cool wearers and keep them comfortable, bringing down buildings’ energy costs
Stanford engineers use SDSC’s ‘Comet’ to develop a plastic fabric that cools the skin
The breakthrough would essentially turn jackets and other clothing into wearable, solar-powered batteries that never need to be plugged in
Advances could pave way for new generation of implantable and wearable diagnostics
The properties of this material are similar to leather once it’s harvested and dried, and can be used to make clothing, shoes, or handbags
Bioengineers determine textile manufacturing processes ideal for engineering tissues needed for organ and tissue repair
The result will be fabrics engineered to see, hear, sense, and communicate
New technique to grow nanostructures that degrade organic matter when exposed to light
One day soon, our clothes will be smart garments engineered to fight harmful bacteria and pollutants, monitor our surroundings and vital signs, and power our mobile devices – all while being fashionable.
