Battery-Free Smart Fabrics to Monitor Health
“Researchers at Purdue University have developed a technique to create smart garments that can harvest electrical power from nearby Wi-Fi networks and radio waves in a process known as magnetic resonance coupling. This power can then be used to energize on-board electrical systems, including body monitors. The fabrics are water repellent, breathable, and fully machine washable, making them practical for use in everyday life.” MORE WITH VIDEO
