Every winter the cold seeps through to the very bones when you step out in to the wind. If you have wished that you could be warmly clad without having to bundle up with so many layers of clothing, this is an invention that you are going to love. Scientists have come up with a technique to make a warmer fabric for use in winters.

They took some cotton cloth and dipped it in a solution of silver nanowire particles. These come together to form a conductive network in the cloth. After experimenting with the solution’s concentration the researchers were able to finally develop a fabric which was able to trap close to 80% of our body heat within while still allowing water to pass through.

The ability of the fabric to breathe, while being able to contain the majority of the body’s internal heat makes it the ideal fabric to make winter clothes from. There is also the possibility of using electricity to warm up the fabric even more for specially cold days.

The cloth warms up to nearly 40°C when powered with a mere 0.9 volts of electricity. Now this is a science project that will aid in reducing your energy bills each winter. If you are nice and warm, you really do not need to heat up the house any more!
