The new material is only 1.8 millimeters thick, combining carbon nanotubes with aramid polymers, the latter of which are also ...

BYU mechanical engineers have created an origami-inspired, lightweight bulletproof shield that can protect law enforcement from gunfire. The new ballistic barrier can be folded compactly when not in ...

A sheet of fabric that is three times stronger than Kevlar could stop a bullet despite being just 1.8 millimetres thick, ...

A group of North Carolina State University researchers is exploring novel ways to apply semiconductor industry processes to unique substrates, such as textiles and fabrics, to “weave together” ...

A group of researchers is exploring novel ways to apply semiconductor industry processes to unique substrates to "weave together" multifunctional materials with distinct capabilities. They describe ...

Kevlar has met its match. For decades, it has been the gold standard for impact protection, from bulletproof vests to armored vehicles, and is still widely used. But scientists have now developed a ...

Ahmedabad: The imagery of bulletproof vests often involves bulky jackets that are not only heavy but can also restrict movement. But as safety comes first, other things take a backseat. The design, ...

(KUTV) We sent Casey out to National Defense Labs. They have CarbonNT Technology. CarbonNT is the world'sstrongest life saving material. CarbonNT, like Kevlar, is a bullet resistant material. Unlike ...
