Bionic fabric can evade infrared cameras

A research team studying bionic intelligent materials in Zhejiang province has developed a type of bionic fiber fabric - an effective heat insulator that can help individuals remain undetectable from most infrared imaging technology.

The research has possible applications in civilian use, industrial production and even by the military, according to the team leader.

It has even been proposed that the material could be used in the design of thermal infrared-stealthy uniforms for soldiers.
