Energy from fabric
September 1st, 2022
Researchers from Nanyang Technological University have developed a fabric that turns body movements into electrical energy. Photo: NTU Scientists at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have developed a stretchable and waterproof fabric that turns energy generated from body movements into electrical energy. A crucial component in the fabric is a polymer that, when pressed […]
‘Chainmail’ fabric uses shape-shifting technology
November 1st, 2021
A new type of shape-shifting technology modeled on ancient chainmail armor has been developed by scientists at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University and the California Institute of Technology in the U.S., as reported by the two universities. Described by the researchers as a type of “wearable structured fabric,” the material quickly changes from flexible to stiff due […]
