"fter a little more than a year of research and more than 20 attempts to get the right materials, an Air Force Academy cadet and professor have developed a kind of goo that can be used to enhance existing types of body armor. As part of a chemistry class project in 2014, Cadet 1st Class Hayley Weir was assigned epoxy, Kevlar, and carbon fiber to use to create a material that could stop a bullet. The project grabbed Weir's interest. "Like Under Armour, for real," she said…"

What's the deal with the extra "u" in "Armour"? This is the USAF Academy in America, not the Royal Military Academy in England. Does this make me an "Arrogant American Gamer"? I dunno. TMP link |

The article states that the larger and faster moving the projectile, the better protection the new substance provides. It says that a 9mm, .40 cal. and .44 magnum were used. I wonder what happens with something like a measly .22 cal. long rifle round? |
