Science and technology, explained simply
As wearable devices and the Internet of Things evolve, a sustainable solution for powering wireless devices and sensors becomes essential. Thermoelectric generators that convert waste heat into electricity can be used. A research team led by Masakazu Nakamura of the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST), Japan, is working on flexible, wearable thermoelectric generators. […]
Due to the onset of global warming, experts are looking for ways to make people’s lives more comfortable. One of these areas is the improvement of individualized clothing. Heat removal from the body can be organized in two ways: active and passive. But active involves bulky electrical devices for ventilation or liquid cooling. The passive […]
A group of scientists from Aarhus University has developed an innovative technology that can change the situation with the recycling of clothing containing elastane. Elastane, which provides elasticity to materials, is often found in blended fabrics, which complicates the recycling process. Associate Professor Steffan Quist Christensen and his colleagues have developed a method to completely […]
Chinese graduate students were able to create clothing that blinds video surveillance systems operating on the basis of artificial intelligence algorithms. The camouflage is called InvisDefense. It was developed by a group of graduate students from Wuhan University as part of a cyber security innovation competition, where they were able to take first place. By […]
