Two weeks ago, scientists from the University of South Carolina, Switzerland and China announced the development of a boron carbide T-shirt that they believe can stop a bullet. Up until now, thick plates of boron carbide have been used to create body armor and to protect tanks. This new lightweight, flexible material “opens up unprecedented opportunities,” including “tougher body armors” and even “lightweight, fuel-efficient cars and aircrafts.”
Batmobile, anyone?
