When balancing comfort and climate, advanced wearable materials are poised to revolutionize thermal management. A research team from the University of California, Irvine, has developed a groundbreaking fabric inspired by the unique properties of squid skin, capable of adapting to temperature needs. … “The strategies used for endowing our materials with breathability, washability, and fabric compatibility could be translated to several other types of wearable systems, such as washable organic electronics, stretchable e-textiles, and energy-harvesting triboelectric materials,” notes Alon Gorodetsky, lead researcher.
