Undoubtedly everyone loves coffee – while most of us are used to enjoying a cup of coffee every day, the American company Virus is intended to produce comfortable base layer fabric that traps heat close to the skin, using recycled coffee grounds. The new fabric is announced capable of increasing skin surface temperature by 10 degrees Fahrenheit, and it features anti-UV and anti-odor properties as well.
Fashionable, durable, except for those existing ones, we now have another new reason to explain why we all love jeans: because they smell pretty good, good like raspberries! That’s rightly the unique feature of these Weird Guy Scratch n’ Sniff Raspberry Scented jeans from Naked & Famous. They’re made with denim that is coated with millions of tiny micro-scent capsules, thus whenever you on the surface of the jeans, you will smell yummy raspberry fragrance around. As an additional bonus, these jeans can still release fragrance even after four to five (or even more) times of washes. Isn’t that amazing?! I mean, when you though your jeans are bit of smelly, you can just scratch to make them smell good again.
Certainly we’re all different: some people simply enjoyed the rock music, while some others were converting the music into electricity with their “Sound Charge” T shirts. T- Shirts?! Completely right, and the high-tech tee each can generate about 6 watt-hours of electricity to power two mobile phones or one smartphone, with a modified piezoelectric film that acts as an oversized mic by absorbing sound waves and some interlaced quartz crystals that converts the acoustic signals into electricity.
Scientists from China have recently brought good news for people who seldom want to clean their clothes: the self-cleaning clothes. The new material was created by coating titanium dioxide and nitrogen on cotton fibers, and those two elements will break down dirt and kill microbes once exposed to the sunlight. Additional nanoparticles using silver and iodine are also adopted to accelerate the discoloration process. Of course the self-cleaning clothes can be washed with water too, as the special coat is claimed to be robust enough to withstand washing and drying.
Milk can build your clothes? German biochemist/fashion designer Anke Domaske says “yes”. The young lady recently received an innovation award from the German Textile Research Association, due to her creation of the hypoallergenic fabric made from sour milk. Quite surprisingly, the fabric is not cheap to make, costing even more than the money spent in producing organic cotton fabric. On the other hand, Domaske’s fabric actually needs only 2 liters of water for 1 kilogram of fabric, compared to more than 10,000 liters of water required to make the same amount of cotton. So what do you think, the money or the water is more important?

It is everybody’s duty to keep away from a drunken driving so we may need some special gadgets to accomplish that task. Men should have a try with this Breathalyzer Jacket. It is embedded with an alcohol sensor located in the collar and a simple LED display on the cuff. Thus when you blow into the alcohol sensor, the LEDs will then light up to indicate your blood alcohol levels: the more alcohol you have, the more lights turn on. [Read the rest of this entry...]
