Using a novel fabrication process, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have produced smart textiles that snugly conform to the body so they can sense the wearer’s posture and motions.
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.
POLYN Technology (Caesarea, Israel) and Fraunhofer Mikroelektronik will develop a special process optimisation as a part of POLYN’s next-generation Neuromorphic Analog Signal Processor (NASP) roadmap. The two companies’ project, accepted by the EU-funded ASCENT+ Consortium, enables access to key European infrastructures and helps academic and industry researchers address emerging challenges in nanoelectronics to accelerate innovation.
