Scientists from Cambridge University announced that they have developed a new woven fabric that may have many uses in the future. Thanks to this fabric, any outfit or daily item can turn into a screen in an instant.
Think of a t-shirt where you can walk around with any pattern and color you want, or even charge your phone directly and get electricity. Here’s that T-shirt turned into reality by scientists. Scientists from the University of Cambridge completely smart fabric produced by touch managed to develop.
A total of 1.16 meters wide smart fabric, according to the statements of scientists, will be used as ‘curtains’ to be used as ‘televisions’, energy-harvesting carpets and interactive and self-powered clothes and it has the potential to be a way to fabrics. It is stated that all kinds of daily items can be turned into smart gadgets.
It was the world’s first smart fabric produced by typical industrial processes:
The research, the results of which were published in the journal Nature Communications, also revealed the difference of the invention we see in the images from similar technologies. Accordingly, this fabric can be produced by typical textile industrial processes and first system capable of integrating a large, scalable and complex system bears the title of being. The fabric can be folded, rolled or twisted just like a regular fabric.
This developed technology can embed functions directly into textile yarns and fibers. Also, since the fabric is coated with materials made to resist flexing, each fiber component maintains its health. The fabric can be operated as a screen as well as store energy. The team behind the fabric plans to turn the fabric into flexible batteries, supercapacitors, solar panels and more.
