Keep Snuggly Warm With Self-Heating Nanowire Clothes, Stanford University Study

The winter months can bring eye-watering heating bills as you struggle to fight off the cold. Much of that energy is wasted warming up empty air rather than people. A new form of cloth designed to directly heat your skin could provide a solution. Almost half of global energy is spent on indoor heating, according to a recent International Energy Agency report. While not all of that is wasteful – buildings need to be heated to keep pipes from freezing, for instance – that figure must come down if we are to reduce carbon emissions.
