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...
