Plenty of people just plain dislike wearing jewelry, even (or especially) smart watches. Nevertheless, they’d like to have biofeedback like everybody else. Well, we watch-less ones have something to ...

A thread made of conductive cellulose that could be use to produce electronic textiles has been developed in Sweden. A research team, led by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, has been ...

Imagine a sweater that powers electronics to monitor your health or charge your mobile phone while running. This development faces challenges because of the lack of materials that both conduct ...

What just happened? Researchers in Sweden have developed a new type of conductive silk thread that can transform textiles into thermoelectric generators. The innovative material harnesses the ...

Researchers have spent years trying to teach robots how to grip different objects without crushing or dropping them. They could be one step closer, thanks to this low-cost, sensor-packed glove. In a ...

Researchers from the University of Washington (UW) have devised a new kind of smart fabric that can store data, and – incredibly – does not need any electrical power to run it. The fabric can be used ...

Have been looking for an easy way to adjust the iPod with gloves after nearly getting myself killed on the way to work driving my bike with one hand, glove in mouth, as I tried to lower the volume.

A research group, led by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, presents an ordinary silk thread, coated with a conductive plastic material, that shows promising properties for turning textiles ...

(Nanowerk News) Thermoelectric textiles convert temperature differences, for example between our bodies and the surrounding air, into an electrical potential. This technology can be of great benefit ...
