IIT Guwahati researchers develop water-repellent, conductive textile

Researchers at IIT Guwahati developed a water-repellent, conductive textile using ultra-thin silver nanowires to generate heat from electricity and sunlight. This innovation offers lightweight, flexible warmth, addressing health risks from extreme cold. The fabric is durable, breathable, and can be used for on-demand heating in cold environments or therapeutic applications.
