First Ever Fabric that Automatically Adjusts to Environment Source:  University of Maryland New Temperature Adjusting Fabric This is a world first.   A wearable material that automatically adapts its insulating capabilities to changes in its environment.  This is pioneering research toward the commercialization of comfort adjusting clothing. Gates Heat and Cold University of Maryland researchers have created the new fabric.  The material "gates" heat and cold.  According to the research team, this is the first technology to dynamically gate infrared radiation.  To put it simply, the fabric let's heat go out if it get hot and holds it in if it's cold.  The scientists say the process is so fast, you're not aware of changing temperature conditions. Smart Fabric To automatically adjust temperatures, the fabric is engineered with specially designed yarn coated with a conductive metal.  To take this commercial, more research is needed an...
