Wearing this fabric is equivalent to carrying an air conditioner

According to the technology website DigitalTrends, do you need air conditioning when you put on your clothes? This is true, but users need to wear clothes developed by Stanford University. A research team at Stanford University has developed a plant fiber textile fabric that reports that it "has a much lower efficiency in cooling the body than other textile fabrics currently on the market." The research was published in the journal Science, and the research team led by Professor YiCui said in a paper abstract that for people living in hot climates without air conditioning available. New textile fabrics help keep your body cool.

Cui Yi said, “If you can cool the human body, not the environment where people live, it will help save energy.” The secret of the new textile fabrics that cool the human body is that it uses the knowledge of nanotechnology, optoelectronics and chemistry. The combined use of this knowledge helps the body to dissipate heat more efficiently. "Stanford News" reported that, in fact, wearing a garment made of this textile fabric helps to reduce the user's somatosensory temperature by 4 degrees. This revolutionary textile fabric not only helps the evaporation of sweat, but also enables the body to radiate heat through the textile fabric in the form of infrared radiation.

Shanhui Fan, a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University, said, “At the time of sitting, 40%-60% of our body's heat is emitted by infrared radiation. But before that, little research has been done on the thermal radiation properties of textile materials. Or almost no.” Given the growing concern about global warming, it is time for research in this area to be taken seriously.

Although the cooling effect of the new textile fabric is not as good as wearing no clothes, the two are quite close. Fan Shanhui said that wearing clothes will hinder heat dissipation and increase the temperature of the body. If you only care about cooling, the effect of not wearing clothes is the best. However, considering the social ethics and the feelings of neighbors, one can only consider the sub-optimal, that is, this new type of textile fabric.
