This new technology could be the solution for protecting the parts of the body which are not currently covered by standard ballistic vests such as arms and legs. The technology is called “shear thickening fluid” which is actually a mixture of hard nanoparticles and non evaporating liquid. It flows normally under low-energy conditions. When the fluid received an impact, it behaves like a solid. This temporary stiffening occurs in less than a millisecond after impact, and is caused by the nanoparticles forming tiny clusters inside the fluid. More details at ScienCentralNews.
