By figuring out how to integrate microfluidics into textiles, Atacama can create activewear that feels more comfortable because almost all of the fabric remains dry.

It can be a stress for fragile textiles, but remains within the short fluctuation range of ± 2 °C recommended by ASHRAE [14].
Desiccated conditions in the cave result in exceptional preservation of organic materials including reeds, ropes, textiles, plant remains and wooden artifacts, providing a rare glimpse into the technology, style, and function of perishable items.
Therefore, designing a fabric structure remains difficult, as textile behaviour is complex.
The textile sector still remains disproportionately large, however, and more than one-third of all manufacturing operations are located in Tunis alone.
