Nylon might seem the obvious go-to material for electronic textiles—not only is there an established textiles industry based on nylon, but it conveniently has a crystalline phase that is piezoelectric—tap it and you get ...
A new Rice University technique grabs images of chemical processes that happen faster than most laboratory cameras are able to capture them.
