Scientists have long been working to create "smart" clothing, but the task is complicated by the fact that the fabric has the feature of constantly messing about and change shape. But it seems that a group of Japanese researchers have managed to develop conductive ink, allowing you to print stretchable and flexible electronic circuits directly on the clothes. This tells the Japanese magazine Nikkei Technology.

Scientists believe that their new technology will soon be releasing a full-fledged "smart" clothes, equipped with activity sensors, various sensors and other computing devices. Key the secret ink is hidden in the mixture of the fluorine organic solvent, and particles of silver, which in combination continue to transmit electricity even when severe deformity.

currently, scientists have created a prototype-based advanced ink. He realized in a sports wrist bracelet that tracks movement of the muscles of the user. It allows you to keep track of how, for example, work different muscle groups when running or performing other physical exercises. So far, the possibility of the bracelet relatively modest, but the researchers believe that this is a big step in the further development of smart clothing.
