Can this Fabric keep you cool in Summer? | Techwear Explained

Описание: A few weeks ago I got noticed by a viewer that some researchers in Maryland have developed a textile material that can manage your body temperature in a smart way completely without external forces. They published their results in a paper named "Dynamic gating of infrared radiation in atextile" - and in this video I go through this paper with you, explain the science behind it, and put it into context, both from a scientific and from a consumer perspective.

This is the first video in my Series "Techwear Explained". You are invited to follow me on YouTube and Instagram if you want to hop along on the ride getting a deep understanding of how techwear functions.

I really want to know what you think of this. Can this Fabric really keep you cool in summer? How long will it take to be ready for usage in the industry? if you have any thoughts about therman managing textiles, please chare them down in the comments - i love to hear your thoughts and experiences on these topics!
