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 ...

Calling a G.I. mushy in the middle may not be such an insult, soon. Because Army researchers are working on liquid body armor, to add to soldiers' bulletproof vests. The key component of liquid armor ...

Scientists at BAE Systems in Bristol, UK have come up with a "shear-thickening" (or dilatant) liquid that can be combined with Kevlar to create a new, more powerful bullet-proof material. Similar to ...

In a lab at the University of Delaware, Norman Wagner, along with scientists at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, are using ceramic nanoparticles to make a new type of body protector. They treat soft ...

Army scientists are working to develop a liquid body armor for clothing that stays flexible during normal use but becomes hard enough to stop a projectile when hit suddenly. The researchers hope the ...

The US Army Research Laboratory has developed a new type of liquid body armor made out of a special liquid, polyethylene glycol, with bullet-stopping particles suspended in it. The liquid armor ...

June 2 (UPI) --BAE Systems and Helios Global Technologies have signed an agreement under a Memorandum of Understanding to develop liquid armor for ground troops. Known as a 'custard'-style armored ...

Rheologists have created a new way of bullet-proofing clothes using shear-thickening fluids. This shear-thickening liquid is actually a mixture of hard nanoparticles and nonevaporating liquid. Fabric ...

Scientists at a Polish company that produce body armor systems are working to implement a non-Newtonian liquid in their products. The liquid is called Shear-Thickening Fluid (STF). STF does not ...
