Nottingham Trent University

Researchers for the first time have successfully and unobtrusively integrated into the core of a smart textile braid magnetic sensitivity which can be used for human-computer interactions, in a mechanically resilient and conformal way, making them suitable for everyday use.

Research at the Nottingham Trent University has come up with an innovative e-textile which can harness 400 milliwatts of electrical energy from the sun. It's enough to charge a basic mobile phone or smartwatch.
