Bolt Threads has been one long science experiment. Founded six years ago by three PhD scientists, the company makes genetically-engineered fabric it grows in fermentation vats. But now the company ...

Researchers combined conductive threads with a polymer film to create a flexible mesh of electrodes on a textile backing that functions as a supercapacitor. Using textiles and fabrics for harvesting ...

Most engineers who deal with bolted joints are familiar with torque tables for SAE-grade bolts, but these are all too often used without regard for the yield strength of internal threads or the bolt’s ...

The strength of some internal threads is more sensitive to tap diameter than previously thought. • Cold-formed threads are no stronger than cut threads when holes are correctly sized. • Cut threads ...

Thread™, the leader in responsible textile and fabric innovation, has developed a jersey material made entirely of recycled bottles from the developing world and reclaimed American cotton. Each yard ...
