Caltech Watson Lecture: Making Wearable Materials Smarter--May 2023
Advances in materials science, manufacturing, and computer science have enabled transformative innovations in wearable materials, with designs that that can monitor metabolic activity, change stiffness on command, and even interpret our mood. These new materials will allow garments and fashion to bring together the physical and digital worlds. In this lecture, Caltech Professor Chiara Daraio will show examples of how these materials will help us stay healthy, how they will revolutionize the way we communicate, and how they will adaptively support our everyday needs.
