But what about smart clothes? Researchers at the University of Georgia are exploring how the clothes people wear can potentially track and protect their health. Smart textiles are fabrics that can monitor the body\u2019s vitals and movement in real time. They\u2019re flexible and lightweight, making them more comfortable to wear while moving.<\/p>\n<p>The present publication focuses on MXenes, a class of two-dimensional, microscopic materials made from metals that can be coated or printed onto fabrics. The researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of hundreds of published studies to examine the different properties of MXenes and how they could be used in smart textiles. The paper is published in the journal ACS Omega.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMXenes have some advanced properties,\u201d said Joyjit Ghosh, corresponding author of the study and a doctoral student in UGA\u2019s College of Family and Consumer Sciences. Not only can they detect body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate, he said, but they are also antimicrobial, making them ideal for hospital settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re probably used to the sight of smartwatches on people\u2019s wrists.
