Can you imagine a dress which stitches or patches itself every time it gets worn out? Then I would never step out of my house for shopping.
A good news for all....
Wearable electronics is exponentially growing filed. Researchers round the globe are finding some new material to reduce our annual spendings on dress. This might be a little disappointing to all shopholics but still it will be a breakthrough in our planet.
Added to it if we get a dress which is glittering as well as healing itself????!!!!!!!!!!!
Researchers from University of California San Diego (UCSD) have developed a new material which is self healing. Unlike other self healing materials this can heal itself of a cut of about 3 mm which is a record. The microparticles arrange themselves in a way in the presence of a magnetic field. The magnetic material is called neodymium.
Researchers quote the operation as:
When the ink was printed in the form of a circuit, it was done in the presence of another magnetic field, which made the particles orient themselves as a permanent magnet at the two polar ends of the printed device. With one end positive and the other negative, the two magnets attract each other when divided into two parts.
