In the UK, fashion designers showed a graphene dress

Graphene, a material representing a two-dimensional modification of carbon with a thickness of just 1 atom, was obtained more than 10 years ago in 2004 by Adam Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, for which they were even awarded the Nobel Prize. Since then, unusual material has been used in a wide variety of technical fields. But we did not need to hear about the use of graphene in the fashion industry, and as reported by The Guardian, Cute Circuit presented the first such dress recently in the English city of Manchester.

Immediately it is worth mentioning and mentioning that the dress does not consist entirely of graphene. It is used to power the LEDs and to mark the heartbeat of a person, while the basis of the dress uses the most common fabrics. Despite this, the first graphene dress is just, you might say, a prototype. And designers would like in the future to create clothes that can change their color depending on the owner's preferences. In addition, graphene inserts in clothes can be used to demonstrate the emotional state and even as a kind of indicators of various diseases. In general, designers have a lot of ideas on this. As the Creative Director of Cute Circuit Francesca Rosella and the research fellow of the National Research Institute of graphene Paul Viper,

"Graphene has never been used in the fashion industry. It is a great honor to be first. It's great to create stunning dresses that will demonstrate the amazing properties of graphene. We are just beginning to understand the real applications of graphene, and demonstrating its properties in a fashion show is very exciting. "
