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 ...

Polish scientists are developing a liquid body armour that hardens on impact, protecting the body from a wide range of bullets. The liquid is placed in special pouches that are worn within vests to ...

A bullet hits traditional Kevlar (L) and the new liquid armour (R). In the tests, scientists used a large gas gun to fire ball bearing-shaped metal bullets at over 300 metres per second into two test ...

Kevlar and ceramic body armor can potentially stop a bullet and prevent the death of a soldier, but tends to be bulky and restricts movement. Certain types of armaments can also pierce Kevlar. Defense ...

British scientists have created a way to make bulletproof vests lighter and less cumbersome. Custard might be able to support a person’s weight, but could it stop a bullet? Well, not quite, but ...

A liquid armour has been shown to stop bullets in tests carried out by UK scientists at BAE systems in Bristol. The researchers have combined this "shear-thickening" liquid with Kevlar to create a new ...
