Envision walking outside on a humid summer day. The luminous sunlight is beating on your skin, your body begins to perspire, but suddenly it disappears. The sunlight is beating on our skin screaming for comfort from the sun, but with new advances in chemistry and clothing material, your worries of overheating and sweating are a thing of the past. Researchers at Stanford University are attempting to develop clothing that can eliminate moisture produced by the body, as sweat, and keeping the body cooler during harsh summer days. The advanced fabric would aloe IR radiation to escape through the fabric easily, and prevent the body from overheating. Furthermore, researchers have produced a nanoporous fabric that can release body heat, instead of

Within the article this term is used to describe light as heat. Particularly, body heat released by the body, which is “7- to-14-µm on the wavelength range (Torrice).” This wavelength range comes from the Electromagnetic Radiation Spectrum on pages thirty to thirty-one of the “CHM 110 Required Note Packet.” This chart shows a spectrum from gamma rays to radio waves. Gamma rays, in which, are high energy radiation, and radio waves, which are low energy radiation (Kudurna “CHM 110 Required Note Packet”). For example, “Ultraviolet light is a type of high radiation that can be damaging to the body (Kudurna “CHM 110 Required Note Packet”).” Normally UV rays are blocked by suncreens, but with the invention of this new apparel, that can support the body to remain cool from these strong UV rays. Visible light is in the middle of the EM spectrum. “Visible light is the smallest region of the EM spectrum. It is the only spectrum of the EM radiation that we can actually see. It also separates the damaging from the non-damaging EM radiation (Kudurna “CHM 110 Required Note Packet”).” In terms of the article, researchers are attempting to reconstruct, polyethylene, a fabric that is transparent to visible light (Torrice). In which, is not a desirable representation of clothing. Lastly, “Infrared Light is heat that you feel from the sun (Kudurna “CHM 110 Required Note Packet”).” Furthermore, from the article researchers are trying to develop clothes that can block this heat from the body and allowing for the material of clothing to breath efficiently. As stated in the article “Even cotton traps the skin's infrared radiation, making you sweat, but a new nanoporous fabric lets it out (Torrice).” These researchers are attempting to invent new clothing that acts as a shield to radiation that ranges from high and low, in a attempt to preserve our body’s
