Innovative Bio-Skin: Will Clothes One Day Self-Ventilate?
EXCERPT: PhD student and MIT researcher, Lining ("Lizzie") Yao, has created along with her highly skilled team a bio-skin that reacts to sweat and might suggest a future of self-ventilating clothes. Known as Bio Logic, this new material user interface (MUI) responds to moisture by expanding and contracting. The team at Tangible Media Group at the MIT Media Lab are proving that old adage about everything old becoming new again with their discovery and re-adaptation of an ancient bacterium with a long and colorful history dating back 1,000 years...
