Indian inventor, Kranthi Vistakula, 33, has developed a nano-technology used to produce heat-controllable clothing. Vistakula was a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he found inspiration in New England’s brutal winters. The native of Hyderabad grew frustrated bundling up to get around in the cold, only to wind up peeling off layers once inside. Vistakula has already created several products available to the public, including ClimaWare, his clothing line. He also has plans for other products, including a jacket for cows that will cool them off, making them more productive.
