Israeli Company Creates Nano-Armor

Posted by Zonk on from the one-step-closer-to-vigilante-superheroes dept.

Izeickl writes "According to IsraCast, an Israeli company has created materials made of inorganic fullerene-like nanostructures (IFs) which have amazing shock absorbing properties. During preliminary tests, these materials, which are five times stronger than steel, have successfully resisted to steel projectiles generating pressures as high as 250 tons per square centimeter. These materials could be incorporated in "nanoarmors" able to protect soldiers or police forces within three years."

    Right-o. Another great creation from the people who brought you ICQ and cures to more diseases than I can name. What more do you need to justify their existence on some desert area with no oil?

    And what has ever come from the cesspool of death surrounding them other than an oil cartel and terrorism?

    I think the bad guys have done this repeatedly.
