Scientists report the material is stronger, tougher and, lighter than the current gold standard bulletproofing material, ...

Kevlar has met its match. For decades, it has been the gold standard for impact protection, from bulletproof vests to armored vehicles, and is still widely used. But scientists have now developed a ...

Talon Technology (Brookvale, Australia) develops carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts for manufacturers of volume consumer products, including furniture and sporting goods, and does a bit of ...

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

While the material pictured above might not look like much, it is actually both stronger and more pliable than kevlar or carbon fiber. Developed by researchers from the East China University of ...

Most of the world is pretty much in shambles, yet the yachting business is booming. Funny, right? This is an example of how some people on this planet live. Unlike other yacht designs we’ve shown you ...

Researchers at East China University of Science & Technology have finally managed to develop a macroscopic material that exhibits the same strength and pliability as individual nanotubes. In fact, ...

This looks like the kind of thin material you might make a trash bag out of. But that would be a waste because this material, made from carbon nanotubes, is stronger and more compliant than kevlar or ...

Finally ultralong (several centimeter) carbon nanotube fibers have been made into stronger bundles. The tensile strength of CNTBs (Carbon nanotube bundles) is at least 9–45 times that of other ...

If you know what Formula Drift is, you’ve probably seen the bright blue, Falken-sponsored Nissan 240 S14 driven by pro drifter Matt Field. That was Field’s old car; for the 2018 season, Matt has ...
