Hot or cold? This futuristic fabric is able to adjust the temperature

The University of Maryland in the USA has developed a fabric that is able to automatically adjust the temperature according to the weather conditions, with the fabric to be cContact the CNet that this fabric is able to expand or compact according to the heat and humidity of the increasing or decreasing the space between the fibers. If you are feeling very hot, the fibers expand and let the heat through, while in the cold they become more compact to retain it.
"The human body is a perfect radiator. Lets heat pass easily. Throughout history, the only way to regulator the radiator was to wear or take off clothing. But this tissue is a true bidirectional radiator, "noted one of the authors of the research that was published in the journal Science, Min Ouyang.
Although promising, the technology will still go through a longer development and study phase before reaching the market. Opened by carbon nanotubes. Miguel Dias
