Wearable Technology

Information processing via human soft tissue

Human muscle tissue can perform complex calculations

A research group, led by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, presents an ordinary silk thread, coated with a conductive plastic material, that shows promising properties for turning textiles into electricity generators. Here, a button is sewn with the new thread.

Scientists Create Electric Thread That Turns Body Heat into Power

This illustration shows a future vision of assemblies of molecules formed by peptides and miniature molecular segments from a plastic material to create ferroelectric structures that switch polarity to store digital information or signal neurons.

Researchers from MIT and Northeastern University developed a liquid crystal elastomer fiber that can change its shape in response to thermal stimuli. The fiber, which is fully compatible with existing textile manufacturing machinery, could be used to make morphing textiles, like a jacket that becomes more insulating to keep the wearer warm when temperatures drop.
