Graphene has remarkable properties that could revolutionize electronics, and now new research shows that the material is better than Kevlar at stopping bullets fired at supersonic speeds. Early ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Wearable thermal insulation materials for harsh environments always require a compromise during their design and manufacturing. On one hand they need to be mechanically tough to ...

Is Kevlar one of the architectural wonders of the future? In Ellen Kullman’s opinion, it’s a slam-dunk. The DuPont CEO -- the first woman to ever hold the job -- traveled to Bushy Park, South Carolina ...

Aerogels are lightweight, wispy materials whose volume is taken up almost entirely by air. These fluffy substances can be made from cellulose, silica, and other materials and used for thermal ...

B&W has made Kevlar speakers for more than 20 years, but its 600 models are the last to switch to the company's own Continuum material. TV and home video editor Ty Pendlebury joined CNET Australia in ...

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 ...

Prior to 1970, bulletproof vests were pretty iffy, with a history extending as far as the 1500s when there were attempts to make metal armor that was bulletproof. By the 20th century there was ...

In terms of engineering merit, the cartilage in your joints is something of an evolutionary marvel. Take your knee joint, for example. Ligaments provide the bone-to-bone connections that allow and ...
