25) Research: A shirt that can take pictures
Discover Magazine
"Researchers have created a fabric that acts like a camera, made of
tiny light-sensitive fibers that turn light waves into images. Says
lead researcher Yoel Fink: 'While the current version of these fabrics
can only image nearby objects, it can still see much farther than most
shirts can' .... Researchers say the technology could one day find
military applications, like a uniform that can record the action all
around a soldier and give him a 360-degree view." (07/13/09)
