The same protein that makes your hair strong enough to support its own weight is now being engineered into bulletproof materials that could revolutionize personal protection. Keratin, the structural ...

The toughest materials are the most fibrous. Such materials are used from bulletproof vests to tires. Research has shown that the smaller the fibers are then the stronger and more resilient they ...

Harvard researchers have developed a new method to make and collect nanofibers and control their size and morphology. This could lead to stronger, more durable bulletproof vests and armor and more ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have engineered a bulletproof material that leverages the power of carbon nanotubes to deliver a performance three times stronger than Kevlar. This ...
