textiles

By separating these fabrics the polyester can be effectively recycled, reducing textile waste

Research team presents a thread made of conductive cellulose, which offers fascinating and practical possibilities for electronic textiles

The thread sensors can be attached to skin to measure movement in real time, with potential implications for tracking health and performance

Smart tablecloth can find fruit and help with watering the plants

Unlike its traditional and synthetic counterparts, producing fungi-based leather uses fewer hazardous chemicals and releases less extra carbon into the atmosphere

Material could be used in smart textiles, medical devices, and more

This new forensic discovery has not been demonstrated before and could have a major implication for fiber evidence in certain criminal cases

Transistors and integrated circuits made from threads are combined with thread-based sensors to create fully flexible devices

Transistors connected with twisted electrodes maintain functionality even after being bent and washed over 1,000 times and can activate LED or detect electrocardiogram signals

Equipment- and training-free textile detectors could be used in public health, workplace safety, military, and rescue applications
