NEWS YOU CAN USE
Believe it or not -- people would need only one set of clothes if titanium oxide in its molecular form was applied to them. Such clothes would not absorb sweat or any external particles and would retain an everlasting shine.
"Man would require only one T-shirt or any other clothes since they would not get dirtied by dust or any other particles if the chemical was used by applying nano- technology," A Sivathanu Pillai, Chief Controller of Research and Development in DRDO, said during an interaction with college students here.
"You can just wipe off tea if it falls on the shirt. It will not be absorbed by the shirt. The shine would remain," Pillai said, much to the surprise of over 800 students and faculty members assembled for the function.
Applying titanium oxide to the clothes would not cause any harm to the human skin, he assured.
Pillai jokingly remarked that the revenues of the textile industry would dip since people would be happy with one or two sets of clothes.
The DRDO has been conducting research in nano-technology for quite some time.
