Similar Stories to The Chameleon Clothes Of The Future Will Change Color on Bing News

It's every fashionista's dream, said Marc Bain at Quartz: a coat that can change color so it always complements the rest of your outfit. Such chameleon clothing is now closer to reality, thanks to a team of MIT researchers who have "devised a way to make objects that can toggle between different colors." Called ColorFab, the system is built around photochromic inks that switch between transparent and colored states when exposed to certain wavelengths of UV light. (Courtesy image) The researchers used the inks to create a "dense, multicolored pattern of ­voxels —­ basically units of visual information, like pixels, only in 3-D." After being "activated" with a UV light, the voxels hold their color for several weeks, at which point they start to fade and need to be reactivated.
