Mingce Long and Deyong Wu from Donghua University have created a special fabric that is coated with a compound of titanium dioxide and nitrogen. It works effectively against bacteria and the stains that ruin a particular outfit. If the clothes are exposed to ultraviolet rays of the sun they work wonders on stains and marks. Nano particles that are made of silver and iodine allow the stains to fade gradually. If it is exposed to the visible spectrum of light the stains all fade away.

Praise Be Material Scientists!

This breakthrough in science is indeed commendable. Titanium dioxide is indeed useful and is used to clean windows and tiles. Now you can have a collection of clothes in your closet that will hardly take time to get clean. The best part is, these clothes have the particles which remain even after washing and drying them.
