Body armor industry recap for 2025 with analysis of materials, defense demand, and risks influencing the global market ...

Imagine armor as light as fabric yet stronger than steel, built from materials that link together like molecular chainmail. Scientists may have just taken the first step toward making it a reality. A ...

A team of researchers at Northwestern University recently announced a breakthrough nanomaterial—a two-dimensional (2D) polymer that mechanically interlocks like chainmail—that could lead to stronger, ...

(Nanowerk News) In a remarkable feat of chemistry, a Northwestern University-led research team has developed the first two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked material. Resembling the ...

An exceptionally preserved 30-pound Roman chainmail, found in 2012 in Bonn, Germany, reveals how ancient soldiers repaired and recycled their armor when they had to take matters into their own hands ...

This illustration shows how X-shaped monomers are interlinked to create the first 2D mechanically interlocked polymer. Similar to chainmail, the material exhibits exceptional strength. EVANSTON, Il. - ...
