Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Adobe have created Refashion, a software system that lets users design garments that can be disassembled and reassembled into different clothing items. The tool demonstrates how digital design and modular construction can reduce waste and enable sustainable fashion through reconfigurable patterns and smart interfaces.
Researchers in the US have developed a sound-suppressing silk fabric, barely thicker than a human hair, that uses fabric vibrations to suppress sound in larger areas, like a bedroom.
