Scientists have created a smart jacket that can withstand temperatures down to -70 ° C

In order to create a new jacket, the developers applied a special paste of functional

They succeeded in introducing electronics into fabrics as part of their work on the WARMR startup, which ITMO students are going to defend as a diploma at the end of their master's studies.

The electronically heated jacket stays warm for up to six hours, even at extremely low temperatures as low as -70°C.
