Definitive Version of Breathing Sportswear Develops by MIT

Excessive relationship of sports wears and Bacillus natto.

The Tangible Media Group at MIT Media Lab who developed "sportswear which changes shape".

To be precise, it is a beautiful appearance which is named bioLogic which is designed to let sweat and heat escape by opening and closing pores.

I have had intelligent sportswear to breathe, but how alive this wear is. According to ScienceDaily, it seems that there is a lid embedded with live Bacillus natto bacteria in the stomata of large and small "cat eyes" designed on the back of wear. Since Bacillus natto expands when humidity rises, it swells in response to the sweat of the wearing person, so that the lid bends in a bow and the pore opens.

Natto is the best in running! But the relationship between sports and Bacillus natto did not end only by eating. According to MIT News, researchers actually wearing bioLogic clothes and riding on an aero bicycle, when they sweat after 5 minutes the pores opened and it seems that they seemed to have "air conditioning on their backs".

In addition, MIT News reports that breathable ballistic sports shoes have also been developed by changing the design and using it as a material for shoe soles . Besides that curtains, lampshades, sheets and ideas for application are not exhausted. It seems that we will aim for commercialization in partnership with sporting goods shops in the future, so maybe we will also be on store at the next marathon season.
