The Future of Material Science

I do think that invisibility cloaks are going to happen, and it will be quite an amazing moment when they are every day. Most of us will have no idea. I'm afraid I'm going to go back to jackets. What I'm envisaging is a jacket that adapts to the temperature outside and adapts to your own body temperature so that you can have one jacket for the rest of your life. We then only need one thing that is very, very useful and encompasses all of the needs that a jacket needs to be. That's the future that I would like to see - material scientists coming together with designers to solve human problems that then impact our environment.
