Listen "The CRAZIEST Materials You've Never Heard Of"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textImagine a world where waterproof/breathable materials really work, where there is mosquito proof apparel, or where fabrics can harvest power like a battery. These (and others) are innovations that Dr. Amanda Mills and her colleagues are working on at the NC State Wilson College of Textiles. Despite their groundbreaking research, they're not hiding their results in an underground lab. In fact, NC State offers courses for graduate, undergrad, and even online public extensions for makers everywhere. We chat about these topics and a lot more as we bring the podcast back to school.
