Exote-Armour, new supertough armour material from Finland
PJH
The Lovely Thing
in Zocalo v2.0
Just ran into an interesting article about a new kind of armour material some Finnish researchers have developed recently and thought some of here might be interested about this.
It's a super-tough and lightweight material, which crushes even the hardest bullets into a dust when they hit the armour plate and prevents them penetrating it. It can also withstand exceptionally high temperatures and even lasercutters etc.
Check out its website here: [url]http://www.exote-armour.com/[/url]
The links of the pages and images all seem to have errors though, so you need to copy&paste them into the address field and fix them manually by replacing the "%5C" codes with '/' marks to access them.
Here's a straight working link to one of the pages which describes the material properties: [url]http://www.exote-armour.com/mprop/mprop.html[/url]
Pretty cool stuff. Now when can I get clothes plated with a thin layer of that stuff? :D

Firefox turns some / to \
Or in fact there's errors in HTML... some \ in URLs.
