Body Electronics

Wearable electronic is still in it’s early stage, make the first baby steps into the harsh world of commercialization but visionaries and researchers work already on the next big thing in getting electronics closer to our bodies, actually inside our [...]


Wearable Power – battery made from from algae cellulose

Soft, flexible, wearable power is the stuff many scientist are working on, not only for the wearable electronic community as many other applications like to use bendable, sustainable, power providing sources for our devices on the go. A group of [...]


Visionary clothing

We have covered many times the advantage wearable technologies can bring to us and our clothing by using it’s potential for sensor inclusion as a second skin, extending our sensory ability. A resent development by a team of researchers at [...]


iLED – the next wearable display

While OLEDs are the hype of today when it comes to flexible, bright and colorful displays able to be integrated into clothing, a team of scientist is already working on the next big technology which could change the rule of [...]


The future of wearable power – printable batteries?

Wearable power, one of the hottest researched topics in the wearable electronic field got another boost from researchers at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems EANS together with colleagues from TU Chemnitz and Menippos GmbH. The research team [...]


Solar fiber – another step towards photovoltaic textiles

Many of us dream of getting electrical energy not only free of charge but also have it available in the remotest areas of our world. Even better, if everyday objects like our clothing can constantly and continuously keep our pockets [...]


Wearable electronic science – flexible electronics

Transforming silicon based, rigid electronic components into soft, flexible elements is one of the corner stones on the way to more complex wearable electronic technology. Currently e-textile components circling around passive – electronically speaking – components like conductive yarns for [...]
