Imitating Nature From Pine Cones to Cool Clothes - Imitating Nature
Author: Toney Allman
Pine cones are considered "smart materials", able to expand and contract in response to their moisture content. Researchers in England are attempting to imitate pine cone actuation by inventing smart fabrics that respond to perspiration by opening up and cooling off the wearer. Their goal is clothing that adjusts to the weather.
