Scientists Develop Fabric That Can Power Music Player, Monitor Vital Functions
The research group of Juan Hinestroza, assistant professor of Fiber Science at Cornell University, in collaboration with researchers at Italian universities has developed cotton threads that can conduct electric current like metal wire, yet remain light and comfortable enough to give a whole new meaning to multi-functional garments. This technology works so well that simple knots in this specially treated thread can complete a circuit.
