New hi-tech fabric that harnesses energy from motion and the sun illustrates how scientific ingenuity is creating ways to help tackle climate change.
Scientists in the US and China have fashioned the ultimate in power dressing: a fabric that recovers energy from movement, and at the same time turns sunlight into electricity.
It may be a while before the new material reaches the high street stores and delivers significant energy savings, but it means that a smart phone in a pocket could charge itself from the fabric around it.
