Working up a sweat from carrying a heavy load? That is when the textile works at its best. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a fabric that converts kinetic energy into ...

Smart textiles from liquid crystal elastomer fibers can now be melted down and reknitted with nearly identical shape-shifting performance.

The heart of the e-textile business as it emerges is electric and electronic functionality from sensing to light emission, achieved entirely by use of e-fibers. Components and interconnections ...
