Useful innovation. Sweden has created a thread that turns clothes into a charger

Swedish scientists have made a breakthrough in the field of creating "intelligent" clothing by developing a silk thread capable of converting body heat into electrical current.

This discovery opens up new possibilities for creating textiles that can power various electronic devices, from fitness trackers to mobile phones.

The key element of the new technology is a conductive polymer that is coated on a silk thread. This material has high flexibility and conductivity, making it ideal for use in the textile industry. In addition, it is safe for the skin and non-toxic.

"We found a piece of the puzzle that is missing to make an optimal thread — a type of polymer that was recently discovered. It has outstanding stability of characteristics when in contact with air, and at the same time has a very good ability to conduct electricity», — says Mariavittoria Craigero, one of the authors of the study.

The researchers demonstrated the efficiency of the new technology by creating thermoelectric generators in the form of a button and a piece of cloth. These generators are able to produce electricity from the temperature difference between the human body and the environment.

«Imagine a sweater that powers electronics to monitor  your health’ or charge your mobile phone while running», — scientists say.

This invention opens up new prospects for the development of "intelligent" clothing and portable electronics. In the future, we can expect the appearance of clothing that will be not not only stylish, but also functional, capable of powering various devices and improving the quality of our lives.
