Just use your T-shirt. Thanks to scientists at the University of South Carolina, who have invented a new T-shirt that could charge up cell phones, it could now be a possibility. The gadget provides portable energy; something the scientists believe could come in quite handy in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the future, you can imagine our cell phones will be just like a piece of paper you can roll up,\u201d says University of South Carolina professor Xiaodong Li. Scientists tried a number of different ways to invent this one of a kind product, but only one of them was actually successful. In order to create the T-shirt, scientists purchased a normal cotton T-shirt for just $5, then dipped it in a sodium fluoride solution for around an hour. The scientists then dried the T-shirt for three hours in a pre-heated oven, after which it was again heated, this time in an even hotter furnace, for another hour.<\/p>\n<p>Once this process had been completed, the shirt had somehow been transformed into activated carbon. Scientists then coated metal manganese oxide onto the T-shirt in order to store the energy. The T-shirt then actually proved to be capable of charging cell phones and more quickly than is the case with any other method.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a very simple low cost process, and it\u2019s green,\u201d Li notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fancy charging your new or old cell phone?
