I know, I know -- at this point, it's hardly surprising that graphene would make the ideal material for thin and light bulletproof armor. It's still pretty awesome, however, that all of graphene's ...

He now plans on demonstrating that if scaled up, graphene sheets could be used in applications such as bulletproof body armor, or even in coverings that would help protect spacecraft from high ...

His lab found graphene's ability to simultaneously be stiff, strong and elastic gives it extraordinary potential for use as body armor or for shielding spacecraft. The lab pioneered its laser ...

We know that graphene is super strong, so it should stand to reason that it would be a sensible—if expensive—choice for body armor. Now, scientists have demonstrated that it’s twice as ...

While bullet-proof body armor does tend to be thick and heavy ... Elisa Riedo, scientists there have determined that two layers of stacked graphene can harden to a diamond-like consistency ...

graphene is already used in computers and electronics. But it’s also incredibly strong for its slight weight, potentially making it an ideal material for body armour. However, it’s tricky to ...

Engineers in the US have created a miniature shooting range to show that multilayer graphene, 10 to 100nm thick, may make excellent body armor. The results suggest graphene may absorb 10 times the ...

have found that diamond-hard armor doesn't need to be thick. The key to less-bulky protection is graphene, a tightly-packed layer of bonded carbon atoms one million times thinner than a piece of ...

Researchers have used lasers to make graphene on Kevlar textiles ... a synthetic polyamide fiber generally used to make body armor and personal protective clothing. The laser burned and ...

CPI is an independent technology innovation centre and a founding member of the UK Government's High Value Manufacturing Catapult. Founded in 2004, CPI applies its years of experience across a broad ...
