A new approach to the design of light-emitting fabric could lead to the development of softer and more wearable luminous clothing, according to a project at the University of Windsor in Ontario. The ...

A team of researchers has developed a new light-emitting fiber than could be woven into fabrics, providing flexible smart fabrics than can illuminate themselves. The fibers use a stainless steel wire ...

I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Rebeccah Pailes-Friedman, an adjunct associate professor at Pratt Institute as well as an author and researcher on smart textiles and wearable technologies.

It might seem an unlikely addition to the world of fashion design, but the creators of this new fabric (right) claim that it is wearable. Mehmet Bayindir and colleagues have melted together strands of ...

With the emergence of wearable electronics that monitor fitness and health, there is a growing need for more flexible light-emitting devices. One option that researchers have been interested in is ...

The light-emitting fibres are quite flexible and can be bent repeatedly without any significant loss in performance, allowing them to be woven into fabrics. The authors demonstrated this by preparing ...

The hot and humid season is here in full force, and with it, a shift in our outfits. As temperatures rise, fashion leans into comfort without wanting to let go of elegance. This summer, style is less ...
