My latest article for TheFeature.com is about electronic textiles:
"In the future, we'll all dress smartly. Well, sort of. Advances in electronic textiles promise evening wear that changes color based on mood, undershirts that dispense medicine, and wirelessly-enabled coats that forecast the weather. While the science fiction vision of electrified clothing is not new, the enabling technologies are only now beginning to emerge from university and industrial laboratories. Far from the catwalk, researchers at the intersection of materials science, electrical engineering and fashion design are designing the computer couture of tomorrow."
