The scientists working for the US Air Force have invented a new kind of fabric that can be worn for weeks without washing. Although the idea of wearing the same clothings for weeks may not appeal to most, it can be a dream come true for the military, athletes, NASA, or even gaming addicts that refuse to bathe.
The fabric “cleans” itself by repelling water, resisting stains, and killing off bacteria. This keeps the wearables dry and reduces the smell caused by sweat.

The military is the last ones working on this innovative technology. It started with self cleaning windows and worked it’s way into experimental clothing and was created I think in Japan.

Either way i’d like to get one of these! It great to finally see cloth that will last long and eliminate the nuisances and wear and tear of everyday wear of clothing.
