At Cornell, a student of Fiber science Professor Juan Hinestroza created a solar powered jacket with a USB port that can recharge a cell phone or iPod. But the possibilities don’t stop there.
Nanotechnology may allow scientists to create clothing that can react to charge in temperature.

"Color is created by controlling the size of the nanoparticles and the space between them,"Hinestroza say.
"Some applications can be found in curtains that change color,giving spaces new meaning every time,as well as interactive camouflage.
"More importantly,nanotechnology could be used to protect our bodies from harmful substances."We can also kill bacteria or capture smog from the air,or toxic gas in case there is a release of toxic gas,"Hinestroza say.
