A new high-tech fabric could mean the end of bulky layers in the winter
“We have found out that if we hook up a battery or a power source to this coated fabric, we can increase the temperature of the textile by up to 110 degrees Celsius, which is an enormous change,” D’Angelo explained in a press conference Aug. 22. “Obviously the soldiers wouldn’t need that kind of heat. But it’s just to show you the potential of how much we can heat up the fabric with just three volts, which is basically a watch battery.”
They’re also experimenting with a sweat-absorbing hydrogel that would keep soldiers dry.
The nanowire-coating is so fine that it doesn’t alter the flexibility of the fabric. It’s also robust. “We have done a few laundering tests with detergent and everything,” D’Angelo said.

Single photons set for telecom wavelengths
By shining laser light at carbon nanotubes containing special defects, scientists in the US and Japan have taken a step forward in the quest to deliver single photons at room temperature and at wavelengths suited to the telecommunications industry. The technique, which would be a boon for developers of quantum technology, allows the researchers to tune the light emitted by the nanotubes across a range of infrared wavelengths, at some of which they showed room-temperature, single-photon emission.

Shining light: laser light shone on special carbon nanotubes causes single-photon emission
Single-photon emission is a key component of several quantum-information technologies, in particular quantum communication.
