Smart Textiles
Scientists at Drexel University have developed a method to coat cellulose yarn with flakes of a type of conductive, two-dimensional material, called MXene, to impart it the conductivity and durability it needs to be knit into functional fabrics. With this, scientists are one step closer to producing wearable devices that are both functional and fashionable.
