Making the decision to install a pool in your yard can be exciting, but you need to choose the best type of material. Mike ...

Kevlar and Twaron are tough materials, but there’s a bit of a trade-off to be made between strength, heat resistance and weight. Now, researchers have created a new nanofiber material that’s ...

SmartPlanet's resident design and architecture guru C.C. Sullivan takes a pulse on Kevlar for tomorrow's building construction uses, and sees some ups and downs.

So Xuetong Zhang and coworkers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Suzhou, devised a simple method for making aerogel fibers from a notoriously tough starting material—the aramid-based product ...

Kevlar was invented by Stephanie Kwolek in the 1960s, who was a chemist at DuPont at the time. It’s been popular ever since for good reason. In the formation of Kevlar, all those aramid chains ...

By the 20th century there was ballistic nylon, but it took kevlar to produce garments with real protection against projectile impact. Now a 3D printed nanomaterial might replace kevlar.

The latest example comes from material scientists at MIT, who have used advanced nanoscale engineering to craft a new armor material they say outperforms Kevlar and steel. SUBSCRIBE LOG IN ...

Researchers make battery from Kevlar material used in bulletproof vests. A lithium-ion battery, seen in this file photo, sits inside a smartphone sold as an Apple Inc. iPhone 4S in an arranged ...

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have created a nanofibre material claimed to outperform steel plates and Kevlar in protecting against the impact of high-speed projectiles. Ramathasan ...

B&W's Continuum material debuted with the 800 series in 2015 and the silvery speaker cones appeared in the 700 series last year. Now, in 2018 the "entry-level" 600 series has Continuum drivers at ...
