Soon you may never have to worry about your smartphone running out of juice. Your clothing will simply power it back up for you. Thats the word from scientists at Chinas Chongqing and Jinan Universities in a study just published in the journal ACS Nano. Researchers have been hard at work during the last few years trying to create wearable energy, or clothes that can charge things. The assumption is simple. People today rely heavily upon devices such as smartphones and tablets. And theyre looking for ways to recharge these devices on the go. So if you could design clothing fabric(面料) that could make use of solar powerone of the most widely available and inexhaustible renewable energy sourcesyoud be able to charge your various devices with ease. Scientists have had some past success creating energy-harvesting fibers. But there was always one problem when they tried to fashion these threads into self-powered smart clothes: The fibers they designed got damaged during the clothing manufacturing process, namely during the weaving and cutting. The Chongqing and Jinan Universities scientists say theyve solved this problem because the energy-collecting and energy-storing threads they created are highly flexibleeach individual thread is easily bendable, and not simply the fabric as a whole. The teams sample textile can be fully charged to 1. 2 volts(伏) in 17 seconds by exposure to sunlight enough voltage that your future smart T-shirt or smart dress might be able to power small electronics. Its durable, too; their research showed there was no descent in the fabric after 60 days. But dont worry that this means the fabric is similar to rough cloth. The scientists note their textile can be fashioned into numerous different patterns, and tailored into any designed shape, without affecting performance. 【文章大意】本文是一篇科普类短文。文章主要介绍一种新型的充电衣服的设想和研究。1.
