A (nano)jacket for riding your bicycle

Abstract:
If you want to try a luminescent jacket to improve your safety when you ride your bicycle at night, you'll have to be next week in Melbourne, Australia. This prototype jacket, embedded with nano polymers, will be on display at the Melbourne Design Festival's Fabric of the Future exhibit.
