Soldiers and tactical unit police officers often have a lot of heavy gear to carry, including the ballistic body armor that they’re wearing. That’s where the ExoM Up-Armoured Exoskeleton is intended to come in, as it’s load-reducing and bulletproof.Con… Continue reading ExoM armored exoskeleton takes a load off – and stops bullets, too
If you’ve seen the John Wick movies, you’ve probably had to suspend your disbelief about many things, but the bulletproof suits are perhaps the hardest thing to swallow. They look …read more Continue reading The Real John Wick-Style Bullet Proof Suit
Weight is often a key consideration for scientists pushing the boundaries of bullet-proof materials, imagining armor that keeps the wearer safe while also improving their mobility. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have now forged a new … Continue reading Lightweight armor material made of nanotube mats outperforms Kevlar
Prior to 1970, bulletproof vests were pretty iffy, with a history extending as far as the 1500s when there were attempts to make metal armor that was bulletproof. By the …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Material Might Replace Kevlar
Chitin derived from shrimps, mushrooms, and other organisms may lead to new 3D-printed, multi-layered polymer coatings to protect soldiers against bullets, lasers, toxic gases, microbes, and other hazards.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTag… Continue reading Shrimp shells to serve as the basis for new multi-protective coatings

Remember those actions movies like The Fast and the Furious where cars are constantly getting smashed by fast flying bullets? What would it have taken to protect the vehicles from AK-47s? In [PrepTech]’s three-part DIY composite vehicle armor tutorial, he shows how he was able to make his own bulletproof …read more

Researchers at Rice University are studying 3D printing plastic structures that mimic tubulanes — theoretical nanotube structures predicted to have extraordinary strength. The result has been very strong and very compressible structures that can actually resist bullets.
As an experiment, the researchers fired projectiles at 5.8 km/s at a block …read more
Police overcame not only digital defenses of the “bulletproof” provider CyberBunker but also barbed wire fences and surveillance cams. Continue reading Darknet hosting provider in underground NATO bunker busted
It looks like a tube made of glass but it’s actually aluminum. Well, aluminum with an asterisk beside it — this is not elemental aluminum but rather a material made using it.
We got onto the buzz about “transparent aluminum” as a result of a Tweet from whence the image above came. This Tweet was posted by [Jo Pitesky], a Science Systems Engineer at the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena. [Jo] reported that at a recent JPL technology open house she had the chance to handle a tube of material that looks for all the world like a section of …read more
