Scientists in Michigan State University are developing a "smart" fabric that glows when it detects allergens. It can also instantly tell where a soldier is bleeding. They created this cloth by dipping cotton fibers into a vat of water, a conductive polymer (fibers that conduct electricity), and carbon nanotubes (carbon sturctures that are used to strengthen polymer fibers). This is very good technology, but i dont think we should have it because then we would start becoming paranoid about how many germs and allergens there are in the world around us.
