The new material is only 1.8 millimeters thick, combining carbon nanotubes with aramid polymers, the latter of which are also ...

Scientists from Harvard have developed what they say is a material that is not only strong against impacts like Kevlar but also protects against heat and cold. The material is 20 times as insulating ...

A sheet of fabric that is three times stronger than Kevlar could stop a bullet despite being just 1.8 millimetres thick, ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have engineered a bulletproof material that leverages the power of carbon ...

Scientists create a composite fiber using nanotubes that stops bullet impacts better than Kevlar technology while using ...

Is Kevlar one of the architectural wonders of the future? In Ellen Kullman’s opinion, it’s a slam-dunk. The DuPont CEO -- the first woman to ever hold the job -- traveled to Bushy Park, South Carolina ...

If you work with Kevlar, carbon fiber or other high performance reinforcement materials, you know what’s going on in the supply chain. Materials are more expensive and difficult to obtain that ever ...

A revolutionary new armor relies on a liquid that hardens when something hits it, promising unprecedented protection while letting soldiers move freely, unrestricted by bulk and weight. Protection for ...

Kevlar and Twaron are famously tough materials, but there’s a bit of a trade-off to be made between strength, heat resistance and weight. Now, researchers have created a new nanofiber version of the ...

Aerogels are lightweight, wispy materials whose volume is taken up almost entirely by air. These fluffy substances can be made from cellulose, silica, and other materials and used for thermal ...

In terms of engineering merit, the cartilage in your joints is something of an evolutionary marvel. Take your knee joint, for example. Ligaments provide the bone-to-bone connections that allow and ...
