This article is informing us that nanotech researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are developing one shirt made of DuPont Kevlar fibers covered with zinc oxide nanowires designed to harness energy from your body's motion and convert it into enough juice to charge your iPod or cell phone!!!
This sounds pretty cool but theres a little problem:
be careful not to toss the shirt in the wash or get too sweaty: zinc oxide is sensitive to moisture, and the nanowires won't work well or at all if they are soaked and shorting out!
my opinion
I think this article is very cool, but I think if they selled this shirt i would probably not buy it because I don't think its necessary to charge your ipod or cell phone with a shirt if you can plug it in, i also think it would not be very nice not to be able to sweat or to wash your technology shirt because it would get ruined! But my opinion is that its really amazing that people found the technology to do this and that with this information they could create other stuff and could make more discoveries about the same subject! i liked alot this article and i would like to learn more about this because its amazing!!!!!
