an ultra-thin silk fabric embedded with a special, piezoelectric fibre that can vibrate to cancel out noise in a room. If made into drapery, the researchers say it could block noise from adjacent ...

Scientists say they have invented a super thin fabric that generates electricity from sunlight and movement. It has taken Chinese and US researchers about two years to develop the fabric, which ...

The artist spent two days arranging the slices on a pair of old library tables, with a little bit of black fabric to act as the eye and nose holes; 375 different brain slices were used. Scalin has ...
