Fabric that regulates temperature based on the conditions
Fabric that regulates temperature based on the conditions.

In the University of Maryland two scientists Yuhuang Wang and Ouyang Min are developing a fabric that instantly change the properties to trap in heat of release depending in the conditions. When the conditions of the room are hot and moist the fabric arranged to allow heat to pass through and when the condition are cold and dry the fabric arranged its properties so heat will get trapped.
The materials in blankets and they all can alter the amount of heat insulated in the blanket, I will talk about the materials that trap in heat. I use blanket as an example anything can be an insulator. Wool is a great insulator in today's world and during the ice age wool was used a lot. Why wool was used a lot was because wool was thick thick materials allow little to none heat to escape out of the person wearing it. Down is the fluffy feathers of a duck or goose that is decent at insulating heat. Down can not get damaged by the weather, so it is a good insulator especially the weight since it is very light.
There are some materials that let heat out and I am going to talk about them. Polyester is the most popular material to use in production of athletic clothing. Polyester is very stretchable and is very thin. If a material is thin that means that heat can pass right out of the body. Another material is nylon. Nylon is very thin and even more thin than polyester it is used in leggings and other clothing like shorts. The materials that are used are very helpful to release heat.
What I think the next steps are with discovery is making foundations that can do the same thing the fabric can do. For example the walls are allowing heat pass through the walls when it is winter. Heating in the winter time would be useless and air conditioning is an expensive privilege to have. Also creating the foundation of walls can benefit people by making less susceptible to illnesses. Foundations of walls that can regulate temperature i believe to be the next step to this research.
