Is it possible to read a map on your coat in the near future? Yes, your coat!
Professor Peng Huisheng and his team at Fudan University have made a new kind of cloth. We can use it as a digital screen(电子屏幕). They spend more than 10 years trying to make “digital cloth”. The first thing is to find out the right thread(线). After checking many of them, they choose two special ones. One can light up, and the other is conductive(导电的).
The coat will be great. You can not only fold it, but also wash it. The researchers wash it 500 times and fold it 1,000 times. But the coat is almost unchanged. That’s because this coat is made of a kind of soft but strong fibre(纤维) and fits people well. You can wear it just like any other coat. The difference is that it can work like a smartphone. It is just like putting a phone screen into the coat. Wear it and then it can show you a lot of information you want.
Professor Peng believes that the new coat can be used in many ways. For example, a driver or bike rider can use it as a GPS map on his or her arm when travelling around. Those who can’t hear or speak can also use it to talk with others. In the hospital, the doctor can get the health data of a patient through his or her coat. That helps doctors look after patients better.
Do you want to put on this coat? It’s coming soon. Let’s wait and see.
