Breakthrough Process Creates Next Generation of Powered Wearable Fibers
APL researchers established new, scalable methods of developing battery- and solar-powered fibers, making it theoretically possible for electrical energy to be harvested from, and stored in, the clothing people wear. These fibers could power high-performance wearable electronics that breathe, stretch, and wash just like conventional textiles.
Game-Changing Impact
We solve complex research, engineering, and analytical problems that present critical challenges to our nation.
By combining creativity and technical expertise with a culture of risk-taking, we tackle increasingly difficult challenges with impacts across multiple domains.
Chief Scientist, Additive ManufacturingA unique aspect of working at APL is the ability to leverage technology from seemingly unrelated areas. For example, we can take knowledge we apply to missile defense—responding to measurement inputs very quickly and making adjustments even faster—and apply it to additive manufacturing.
