A new approach to smart textiles could lead to a host of new use cases and a level of durability that might make the technology much more attractive to adopt. A team led by John Volakis, director of ...

Wearable technology has already become part of everyday life. Many people now use smartwatches to track their heart rate, steps, and sleep. But scientists believe the next big step could be clothing ...

video: Researchers have developed next-generation smart textiles – incorporating LEDs, sensors, energy harvesting, and storage – that can be produced inexpensively, in any shape or size, using the ...

New research on the two-dimensional (2D) material graphene has allowed researchers to create smart adaptive clothing which can lower the body temperature of the wearer in hot climates. A team of ...

(Nanowerk News) Electronically conductive fibres are already in use in smart textiles, but in a recently published research article ionically conductive fibres have proven to be of increasing interest ...

MXene materials can be coated onto fabrics to create smart textiles that track heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature while fighting bacteria and storing solar energy.

Yes, we can put sensors in clothes -- but there still isn't a great reason you can't use a smartwatch instead. David Lumb is a senior reporter covering mobile and gaming spaces. Over the last decade, ...

Scientists have built next-generation smart textiles that include LEDs, energy harvesting, sensors, and storage and can be made cheaply, in any form or size, using the same machines that make the ...

As consumers become increasingly proactive and sophisticated when it comes to their health, they are more interested in purchasing wearable technology than ever before. Thanks to minimally invasive ...
