Scientists Create Bullet-Proof Fiber Stronger and Thinner Than Kevlar
Researchers have created a new fiber that surpasses Kevlar in bullet-stopping power while being much thinner. Made by aligning advanced aramid chains with carbon nanotubes, the material absorbs over twice as much energy as previous record-holding fibers. The breakthrough could lead to lighter, stronger armor for military, law enforcement and person...

New Gel-Based Artificial Cartilage Might Eliminate the Need for Total Knee Replacement
Researchers from Duke University have created the first gel-based substitute for natural cartilage, which, according to them, is more durable than the original. The hydrogel material is made of water and absorbing materials, and can effectively resist wear and tear up to three times more than the natural cartilage.

Solar Pixels Abundant On Earth Found To Produce Hydrogen For Weeks, Says Study
According to a study, devices made of commonly available oxide and carbon-based materials can manufacture pure hydrogen from water for weeks. The discovery could aid in overcoming one of the major challenges in solar fuel production: present earth-abundant light-absorbing materials are limited in terms of performance or stability.
