Researchers have developed composite metal foam (CMF) that is so tough it turns armor-piercing bullets into dust on impact. The potential for military and civil use are immense, given the fact it’s so much lighter than metal plating.
Afsaneh Rabiei, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at NC State, has spent years developing CMFs and investigating their unusual properties. This material has obvious implications for creating new types of body and vehicle armor — and that’s just the beginning of its potential uses, according to NC State University.
