Inspired by the scales of pangolins and armadillos, scientists at NTU Singapore have developed a patent-pending innovative wearable fabric that can quickly be made into medical devices or soft robotics, such as limbs for drones.

Researchers at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University have successfully fabricated hair-thin, defect-free fibres spanning 100 metres, which can be woven into fabrics, turning them into smart wearable electronics.

In a bid to promote innovation in textile recycling and use research findings to address practical issues, the Singapore-based Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has set up a collaborative textile research centre.

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a stretchable and waterproof ‘fabric’ that turns energy generated from body movements into electrical energy.

A team of researchers in Hong Kong have developed a highly functional textile from recycled common plastic waste.
