New Scientist : Nanotechnologists have developed conducting fabrics that can survive a washing machine, reports Paul Marks for New Scientist. Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas, who have published their results in Science, have been experimenting with nanotube yarns peppered with “guest” particles wrapped up in a tightly scrolled web. Besides use in clothing, the technique could have other engineering applications, such as in batteries and supercapacitors.
