Researchers develop MXene-based smart fabric
December 1st, 2024
Doctoral candidate Jun Peng from the College of Textile Science and Engineering at Jiangnan University in Wuxi, China, wearing a face mask made using MXene that can detect lung cancer and viruses from a person’s breath. University of Waterloo researchers in Waterloo, Ont., Canada, have developed a smart fabric that can convert body heat and […]
Fabric blocks electromagnetic waves
March 1st, 2021
Researchers at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pa., have created “Faraday fabrics” that can block almost all electromagnetic (EM) waves. The development could help protect wearables from interference and people from potentially dangerous radiation. The key ingredient is a 2D material called MXene. While electromagnetic waves are incredibly useful, interference in the airwaves can make connections […]
