Fractal void cubes could make for better shock-dissipating armor

The microscopic structure of a material plays a huge role in how well it absorbs impacts, and now researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have hit upon a structure that works particularly well. The team 3D-printed cubes with fractal voids inside … Continue reading Fractal void cubes could make for better shock-dissipating armor

Bulletproof Audi RS7 stakes claim as world's fastest armored car

The AddArmor APR RS7 can take a beating – assuming you can catch it

An armored vehicle probably isn’t something you’d normally associate with high speeds, but one company is out to prove that doesn’t have to be the case. Wyoming-based AddArmor has wrapped an Audi RS7 with its special in-house paneling and ballistic glass to produce what it says is the fastest armored car in the world, but still with plenty of other tricks up its sleeve if it can’t make a clean getaway.
