The low-cost FibeRobo, which is compatible with existing textile manufacturing techniques, could be used in adaptive performance wear or compression garments.

Instead of needing a coat for each season, imagine having a jacket that would dynamically change shape so it becomes more insulating to keep you warm as the temperature drops.

A programmable, actuating fiber developed by an interdisciplinary team of MIT.

This is an interesting concept and isn’t without controversy but I hope they succeed in building this. It sets a precedent if successful.

The term artificial airglow describes the intentional augmentation or production of atmospheric airglow which is the earth’s atmosphere’s natural light emission. This phenomenon, which can be seen at different altitudes, is brought on by solar and cosmic radiation interacting with atmospheric molecules like oxygen and nitrogen. The dim, diffuse, and typically greenish light produced by artificial airglow is most noticeable at night and has long been studied for its unique celestial properties.

Four days of research and experimentation

Now, the high-frequency radio wave transmitter called the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility in Alaska will create the phenomenon in the sky for four days starting from Saturday in order to conduct experiments on the ionosphere, a region of our planet’s upper atmosphere that contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons and extends from about 30 miles (50 kilometers) above the earth’s surface to several hundred miles in altitude.
