A collaborative research has developed a pioneering method of 3D printing elastomers that enable complex, colour-changing responsive materials, paving the way for novel applications like smart textiles and advanced robotics.
You could soon power your garment gizmos without unfashionably toting around a solid bulky battery. In a significant development for wearable technology, a collaborative team of researchers has developed a process to print a textile energy grid that can be charged wirelessly.
