Sunlight-charged, Wearable “Thermal Battery”

Warm clothing, like a sweater, protects us in cold climates by trapping the natural body-heat and thereby minimises its loss to the cold environment outside. Turns out that there might be another smarter and sustainable way to keep ourselves warm during cold nights. Researchers at IIT Bombay, jointly with IISER Trivandrum, have developed a wearable, lightweight, fabric patch that directly absorbs sunlight, stores it internally as heat and releases the heat in dark. All this is done without any wires, electricity or any bulky components.
