A team used experiments and simulations to quantify and predict how knit fabric response can be programmed. By establishing a mathematical theory of knitted materials, the researchers hope that ...

The practice of purposely looping thread to create intricate knit garments and blankets has existed for millennia. Though its precise origins have been lost to history, artifacts like a pair of wool ...

Drexel researchers have developed a way to coat cellulose yarn with flakes of a type of conductive, two-dimensional material, called MXene, to imbue it with the conductivity and durability it needs to ...
