At some point in the near future, a shirt will no longer be just a shirt. Your average Eagles jersey will eventually be able to call your mother, take your temperature, and serve as an electromagnetic ...

A team of engineers at the University of Delaware is developing next-generation smart textiles by creating flexible carbon nanotube composite coatings on a wide range of fibers, including cotton, ...

Smart clothes are a highly promising field of development, where everything from health monitors to LED displays are integrated into clothes. But the textiles developed are said to rely on rigid ...

Imagine adjusting the temperature of the air conditioning or skipping a song in your car, not by fiddling with a screen or voice command, but simply by swiping your hand across the fabric of your ...

"Smart textiles have also been limited by their lack of practicality," said Dr Luigi Occhipinti, also from the Department of Engineering, who co-led the research. "You think of the sort of bending, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A major challenge in nanotechnology is that of determining how to introduce green and sustainable principles when assembling individual nanoscale elements to create working ...
