A range of fashion items that integrates art and technology is launched!

Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created the first kind of fibers with digital function, which can sense, store, analyze and infer activities after being sewn into a shirt. Digital fibers increase the possibility of fabrics to find hidden patterns in human body, which can be used for physical fitness monitoring, medical inference and early disease detection.

KBS World Radio said that a group of local scientists has developed a fabric that serves as an "artificial muscle", which can do more things with little effort by sticking them on clothing.

Using the products for ten minutes can reduce muscle and joint soreness by up to 70%.

The 3D printed parts of the dress light up when meteoroids fall through a sampling of real-life meteor data.

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed a highly permeable and superelastic conductor which can be used for wearable electronic devices that can withstand long-time wearing.

WTTDC 2021 opens for entries! Textech Galaxy and ShanghaiTex 2021, the organizers of the design competition, invite young creative talent to spur new ideas on the integrated use of smart materials, technical skills and computing technology into textile applications.

The luminescent fiber material is less than half a millimeter in diameter and looks just like that of the common yarn. But once they are electrified, they become luminescent yarns.

Recently, the team of Qu Lijun and Tian Mingwei, from Research Center for Intelligent Wearable Technology of Qingdao University, published an academic paper on smart electronic textiles entitled "Flexible All-textile Dual Tactile-tension Sensors for Monitoring Athletic Motion During Taekwondo" in Nano Energy, a TOP journal of advanced materials (Impact Factor 16.602). Through interdisciplinary cooperation among Qingdao University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Shenzhen University, this paper is co-authored by Ma Yulong, a postgraduate student from Research Center for Intelligent Wearable Technology and College of Textile & Clothing, and Ouyang Jingyu from Huazhong University of Science and Technology; Prof. Tian Mingwei, Prof. Qu Lijun and Prof. Tao Guangming from Huazhong University of Science and Technology are the co-corresponding authors.
