Kleid in Wein

Imagination entsteht überall, und manchmal, in einem wörtlichen als erwartet, da der Wissenschaftler Gary Cass von der University of Western Australia, deren jüngstes Projekt war es, Acetobacter verwenden, um ein Baumwoll-ähnliche Substanz erstellen angezeigt aus der Fermentation eines flüssigen Materials: Rotwein.

Cass tells us that "to create the fabric, a bacterium called" Acetobacter "is added to the vats of wine to make vinegar gradually. This layer is then harvested and dried in an inflatable dummy desired shape of the garment. When the dummy is deflated clothing continues its original form, and yet, when dried, all the fibers they become like tissue paper, so it is good to keep in constant moisture when worn. "

As you can see the modus operandi is quite simple, and the end result is a dress with authentic Burgundy, with a strange texture and a strong smell of wine. It now remains to see if comfort is one of his qualities.

The team now hopes to partner with other experts to find a way to strengthen the material, which they have named 'Micro Ser'.
