A new study suggests that a newer material, a metal foam made out of steel and epoxy ... “In short, we found that steel-CMF offers much more protection than all other existing armor materials ...

“The harder the foam is hit, the harder it gets. As a result, auxetic foams provide a much higher energy absorbing capability and much better protection.” Auxadyne engineers have optimized the ...

A lightweight, ultra-shock-absorbing foam made from carbon nanotubes is ... which could allow it to provide improved impact protection. Physical forces from an impact can inflict trauma in the ...

This foam padding, which absorbs shock while providing comfort and protection, is now widely used almost 50 years after it was developed for NASA. Temper foam has padded the helmets of race car ...
