Decades of research have resulted in some huge advancements in body armor technology, and in the development of ultra-thin materials used to make body armor that is stronger than ever.</p> <p>Now ...

This concealable body armor takes proven Level II and IIIA ballistic packages and makes them much easier and faster to order, right off the rack. Thin Blue Line is offered in ...

Researchers have demonstrated that graphene could be used to create lightweight body armor that is as light as foil, but strong as diamonds.

Just to make things even more mega, graphene is also transparent. Ultra-thin, invisible body armor, here we come! [New Scientist] Image via Coderforfood. mad science materials science ...

Scientists have theorized that paper-thin composite nanomaterials could stop bullets just as effectively as heavy weight body armor, but progress has been hampered by their inability to reliably ...

A new material developed by Dutch scientists has made its way into soft body armor. Dyneema SB61 is a fiber made from an extremely high grade of the common plastic polyethylene. Laundry baskets ...

It's made out of the same material used to make actual tactical body armor, so it provides terrific protection despite being remarkably thin and lightweight.

As the tiny (micrometer-sized) bullets slammed into the graphene armor, it showed around twice the stopping power of Kevlar, or about 10 times the stopping power of steel plate.

WAKE FOREST – Startup Thin Gold Line is raising up to $2 million to set up manufacturing operations for the company’s first product, – the patent-pending 1041.Life shirt which is designed to ...

This novel Kevlar fiber is stronger, meaning that its makers hope they can fashion body armor out of it that's thinner and lighter.

The vests are sponsored by a fundraiser hosted by The Thin Blue Line USA and will be embroidered with the sentiment “Born to Love – Trained to Serve – Always Loyal,” said Sgt. John Carr.
