China lights the way in wearable technology

Fancy a party dress that will shine like a star or a tuxedo that can change colors? A new material developed by Chinese scientists may help you get just that.

Peng Huisheng and his colleagues from the Shanghai-based Fudan University plan to make you carry countless batteries to make your garment shine, only that the cells are fiber-shaped so they can be woven into fabric, according to the latest issue of UK-based Nature Photonics.

The light, flexible, fiber polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (PLEC) are made by wrapping metal wire cathode in a carbon nanotube sheet that is the anode. They activate an electroluminescent polymer layer in between, which emits light.

PLECs are powered by a low voltage, boast high efficiency and are suitable for mass production, said Zhang Zhitao, one of the article's authors.

The materials can display various colors, and fabric made with them can change colors by adjusting the brightness ratio.

In a peer review article, material scientists Enrique Orti and Henk Bolink say the technology was "a major step forward in the preparation of light-emitting fibers that suit integration with woven fabrics," although improvements were still needed.

And people say China don't innovate. Just pure jealousy.

Tianjin Seagull Watch Co., Ltd., as the biggest watch industry group in China, has its headquarters in Tianjin . The Group is located in southwest of Tianjin with a land area of 70,000 square meters, neighboring to the beautiful Water Park and the world renowned Nankai University and Tianjin Univeristy.

Today, Sea-Gull has more than 2000 world-advanced machining equipments and testing instruments. By the end of 2007, 156 technology patents were owned by Sea-Gull, which embody the ability of innovation.


FIYTA

Watch making technique

Fiyta scored a breakthrough in 2007 when it independently developed a process to strengthen materials called ATiC for its wristwatches, for which it holds the relevant patents. The ATiC material is harder than normal steel or titanium and more comfortable to the human skin.

Stainless steel was used as the base material, with a layer of DLC coated over it. This enabled the wristwatch to be more durable. It also gave it glossy sheen.

Is this Seagull different from the one that makes some pretty good CCD cameras？

You know the funny things is in here? They adore a country that has more sophisticated technology than China, Use those country as their hero to make China achievement look bad. Why don't they use their own country? Because they know that their country can't match China in term of military, technology, industry, and economy. So what happen when China has surpass Japan and the United State of America? Will they compare China to Klingon or Vulcan?
