Coming soon the clothes passed the data

Researchers at Ohio State University are developing antennas and circuits that are just 0.1mm in size, enough to "weave" them into the clothes we wear every day.

This type of fabric can be sewn on conventional sewing machines.

As a result, we can attach various types of sensors and computer memory devices to the clothes. It's not hard to imagine a day not too far away from a shirt worn everyday that will act as an antenna for a smartphone or tablet, even monitoring the level of daily exercise or monitoring the activity of the brain. .

This capability will soon become a reality as researchers are experimenting with electronic devices that can wove microchip onto fabric fibers with high precision. This is an important step towards the design of clothing that can collect, store or transmit digital information.

"A new revolution is taking place in the field of textiles." We believe functional fabrics will bring many new applications in the field of health and wellness , " said John Volakis, head The study was conducted at Ohio State University.

Volakis' team created a functional fabric called "electronic fabric , " which can be sewn on conventional sewing machines. Only in a short time will we see the emergence of a whole new set of materials - the "electronics".
