Thanks to advances in materials and electronics, we are starting to see how our clothing might one day do more than keep us warm or protect us from the elements. Scientists at Chalmers University of ...

What just happened? Researchers in Sweden have developed a new type of conductive silk thread that can transform textiles into thermoelectric generators. The innovative material harnesses the ...

Plenty of people just plain dislike wearing jewelry, even (or especially) smart watches. Nevertheless, they’d like to have biofeedback like everybody else. Well, we watch-less ones have something to ...

Producing functional fabrics that perform all the functions we want, while retaining the characteristics of fabric we’re accustomed to is no easy task. Two groups of researchers at Drexel University — ...

She's young, she's hip and she has a thing for zombies. Cheryl Sleboda of Plainfield, Ill., inserts light-emitting diodes (LEDs) into her whimsical fabric creations, sews them with conductive thread ...

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 ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Washington looked at conductive thread. Conductive thread is spun from fibers of metal, and it can carry a current just like wires can. But you can ...

Using textiles and fabrics for harvesting power, storing energy, and bio-sensing makes sense—after all, everyone wears a shirt. A team at the University of Massachusetts has developed a way to combine ...

Have been looking for an easy way to adjust the iPod with gloves after nearly getting myself killed on the way to work driving my bike with one hand, glove in mouth, as I tried to lower the volume.

Throw away your old plastic Dance Dance Revolution mat and bring yourself into the future with a miniature crocheted DDR pad. TikTok creator kims_threads did just that using her crochet hook, some ...
