Fabric can adjust aerodynamic properties on demand
Researchers at the Harvard John A Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, USA, have developed a new type of textile that uses dimpling to adjust its aerodynamic properties while worn on the body.
The research has the potential to change not only high-speed sports, but also industries such as aerospace, maritime and civil engineering.
