We set out to revolutionize fashion techwear —starting with the classic white dress shirt, made with heart and precision. Paying close attention to details, combined with high quality cotton fabric and latest hydrophobic nanotechnology (疏水纳米技术), results in nothing less than a masterpiece.

The nanotechnology works by modifying the fabric molecules (分子). The hydrophobic properties are locked into the weave of the fabric, which makes liquids bead-up and roll off the fabric surface. Our Fooxmet white shirt use 72% combed cotton and 28% Sorona fabric. Combed cotton is a kind of cotton that has been combed to make the thread stronger. Sorona is the fiber that defines softness, with a flexibility beyond limits.

Having a shirt made out of Fooxmet hydrophobic nanotech material means freedom in so many ways. Long gone will be the days when one had to be anxious about where they walked or what they drank. The material of Fooxmet white shirt will make it dirt resistant. The liquid that is resisted ca particles of dirt off with it, making it essentially self-cleaning. We use sustainable Sorona cotton fabric for perfect function and comfort balance. Although the material is liquid resistant, it is breathable. The wearer, therefore, wouldn’t have to worry about sweating when it is hot and focus on work, boosting productivity. Besides, whether you spin it, weave it or wear it, it doesn’t wrinkle. It doesn’t need to be ironed. Our white shirt returns to its original shape after being washed.

Simplicity and emptiness make the great universality, embracing the feelings and thoughts of all people. Our Japanese designers put precise attention to details with admirable d create the Fooxmet white shirt.

There are always risks to every kickstarter project, but we are confident to ensure our backers to receive Fooxmet on time. The material and technology itself have already been and tested. Currently we are done with modeling and mass production will start upon the success of We are confident to foresee and de-risk most of the difficulties faced in production.

Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the everchanging 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative meaning.

So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新). But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.

Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become.

But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.

“The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder, ”says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide’, just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider’.” She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational   thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”

“All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re unaware, ”she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.

The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system-that anyone can do anything, ” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will... and Ms. Markova’s business partner. “That’s a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” This is where developing new habits comes in.

Sugar cane（甘蔗）contains around 10% sugar. But that means it contains around 90% non-sugar—the material known as bagasse （甘蔗渣）which remains once the sugar-bearing juice is squeezed out. World production of cane sugar was 185 million tonnes in 2017 , which results in a lot of bagasse.

At the moment, most of it is burned. But Zhu Hongli, a mechanical engineer at Northeastern University, in Boston, thinks it can be put into better use. As she, and her colleagues describe, in Matter this week, with a bit of improving bagasse makes an excellent and biodegradable （可生 物降解的）replacement for the plastic used for disposable food containers such as coffee cups.

Dr. Zhu is not the first person to have this idea. But previous attempts tended not to survive contact with liquids. She knew from previous research that the main reason why past efforts fell to pieces when wet is that bagasse is composed of short fibres which are unable to hold the finished product. She therefore sought' to insert a suitably long-fibred substance.       

Bamboo seemed to be the best choice. It grows quickly /degrades readily and has appropriately long fibres. And it worked. When the researchers blended bamboo remaining into bagasse, they found that the result had a   strong crossing of short and long fibres.

To put their new material through its paces, Dr. Zhu and her colleagues first poured hot oil onto it and found that, rather than passing through the material, as it would have with previous, bagasse products, the oil was resisted by their invention.

They also found that when they made a cup out of the stuff and filled it with water heated almost to boiling point, the cup remained unbroken for more than two hours. Though this is not as long as a plastic cup would   Hast, it-is long enough for all practical purposes.
