PopSci - Kranthi Kiran Vistakula developed technology that can keep your body
comfortable in outside temperatures that range from -50 to 50 degrees
Celsius.
With the exception of Russian novelists, not many people can say their
big break was inspired by the despair of a frost-ridden,
snot-icicle-inducing winter. Yet for Kranthi Kiran Vistakula, a graduate
student from Hyderabad, India, the inconvenience of the Boston cold
wasn't something to shrug at -- it was a problem to fix.
While working toward a master's degree in biomedical engineering at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he grew increasingly annoyed by
the cyclical struggle of piling on layers of clothing to combat the
frigid cold on his walk to class, only to break into a sweat and peel
them off the minute he stepped inside an overheated building.
