Using Laser-Induced Particle Impact Testing (LIPIT), researchers found that these materials can absorb energy under extreme strain rates, far exceeding the performance of traditional heavy armor materials.
Creating lighter, more durable casings for high-end technology. 26595.mp4
By examining the synergy between material and structure, researchers are building materials that survive supersonic impacts. Using Laser-Induced Particle Impact Testing (LIPIT)
Imagine a material that is mostly empty space—99% air, perhaps—yet can stop a micro-projectile traveling at supersonic speeds. This isn't science fiction; it is the promise of . 26595.mp4
This technology isn't just about bulletproof vests. The future applications include:
