Biomedical engineers have demonstrated that, despite significant advancements in protection from ballistics and blunt impacts, modern military helmets are no better at protecting from shock waves than ...

A unique, fiber-reinforced elastomer holds promise as a retrofittable, blast-resistant “wallpaper” that could help mitigate the hazard of flying debris when a non-loadbearing, concrete masonry wall is ...

In designing armor, materials high in hardness, strength, and toughness have traditionally been sought, since common sense would dictate that such materials should be most resistant to attack by a ...

In an unstable world, the uses for ballistic steel are widening to encompass a tremendous diversity of defence and civil applications. Steel is the mother of all manufacturing materials; if things ...

A helmet used by French soldiers in World War I provided better protection from overhead blasts than a modern American model, according to a US university study. Biomedical engineers from North ...
