KUALA LUMPUR, April 14 (Bernama) -- NMB (NanoMalaysia Berhad) and its partners showcased four cutting-edge innovations at the 25th Malaysia Technology Expo (MTE) 2026 held at the World Trade Centre recently. The innovations were recognised under the International Innovation Awards category, securing one Gold Award for the Graphene-Coated Smart Thread, one Silver Award for NanoBooster Granule+, and two Bronze Awards for the Graphene-Enhanced Smart Insole System and the Wireless-Powered IoT Battery Water Level Sensor System for UPS.
Leading the showcase is the Graphene-Coated Smart Thread, developed in collaboration with Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR). This innovation transforms conventional textiles into intelligent sensing platforms capable of real-time human motion monitoring. Fabricated using a scalable and cost-effective dip-and-dry process, the graphene thread demonstrates high strain sensitivity, fast response times, and strong wash durability, making it suitable for integration into wearable healthcare and sports applications. The technology enables continuous monitoring without bulky external devices, marking a significant step forward in smart textile development.
