Textile engineers at Shinshu University in Japan have woven a fabric that can heat up or cool down depending on the outside temperature. The fabric is woven out of super-fine nano-threads that contain a special “phase-change” material (PCM) that can store and release large amounts of heat. “This fabric can potentially be used as a […]

Fabric, sea salt, carbon ink, and a water-absorbing gel. These are the components that researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) used to create a device that can generate electricity from the moisture in the air. The research team led by Tan Swee Ching, assistant professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering […]
