With two pairs of fine-tipped tweezers and the hands of a surgeon, Cheryl Hayashi began dissecting the body of a silver garden spider under her microscope. In just a few minutes,...
With this 3D printing body armor innovation, the U.S. Army will be able to print custom-made armor on the spot. According to a recent research on 3D printing technology, it is...
The JCAT is hosting the JASP Susceptibility Reduction Work Group to bring together subject matter experts from the modeling, simulation and operational communities to determine...
U.S. Army researchers have devised a method to produce ceramic body armor, lightweight but strong, from a 3-D printer. Except that 3-D printers are meant to print out knickknacks...
The Joint Aircraft Survivability Program Office (JASPO) will host the 2018 JAS Program Review (JPR) at the Threat Training Facility (TTF), Nellis AFB, NV on 18-20 September, 2018...
Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a new composite metal foam (CMF) material that can stop armour-piercing .50-cal rounds from piercing armoured...
The U.S. Army decided to re-purpose legacy body armor vest into the newly-designed Modular Scalable Vest configuration, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. The contract,...
Researchers from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and ASU have teamed up on a new material composition that super heroes, if real, would envy. They've designed a super strong...
It's now possible to 3D print extremely viscous materials, with the consistency of clay or cookie dough with fine precision, thanks to work done at Purdue University. This...
A team of Imperial alumni and postdocs are combining silk with graphene to produce next generation armor for people, vehicles and buildings. “If you were shot by a handgun, Kevlar...
