Daily Mail: Liquid body armour: 'Magic material' can instantly harden on impact - and is tough enough to stop a bullet
* Clothing can include Moratex pack which instantly hardens on impact
* Has been shown to stop bullets in lab tests - yet wearer can move around
Scientists at a Polish company that produce body armour systems are working to put a 'magic liquid' that can harden on impact in their products.
The liquid is called Shear-Thickening Fluid (STF), and instantly hardens upon impact at any temperature.
In a 'liquid armour' this provides protection from penetration by high-speed projectiles and additionally dispersing energy over a larger area.
Update: Poland Developing Liquid Body Armor -- Popular Science
WNU Editor: The applications are unlimited.
