the art of silk jacquard weaving. Modern stealth aircraft, including the F-22 and F-35, rely on layered coatings to deflect radar signals. But these materials degrade rapidly under stress.

A study on weaving was published in the Chinese peer-reviewed journal Knitting Industries last month. It suggested that “a dual-layer composite fabric inspired by Han dynasty jacquard looms ...

Developed by the French silk-weaver, Joseph-Marie Jacquard (1752-1834), to control its operation, the loom used a chain of cards punched with holes in a continuous loop. Although punch cards were ...
