New nanofabric could create personal temperature-responsive bodysuits that make indoor heating a thing of the past

Scientists at Stanford University have now created a nanoporous textile that promotes effective radiative cooling while still having sufficient air permeability, water-wicking rate, and mechanical strength for wearability. This fabric could be woven into a thermally responsive bodysuit that allows humans to achieve per-body heat management, and remove the requirement for indoor heating, resulting in large energy savings.
